Multiple Declaration Errors for namespace std in ARM

[FireBoyAJ24]

Description

When building the OMPL make update_bindings on ARM, we get an error: pygccxml.declarations.runtime_errors.multiple_declarations_found_t: Multiple declarations have been found. Matcher: [(decl type==namespace_t) and (name==std)]. Context of this issue comes from https://github.com/ompl/ompl/issues/1116.

Is it possible that the standard C++ library headers are treated differently (unexpectedly) in ARM compared to X86_64 in PygccXML?

I placed this issue in pygccxml as the error comes from this package compared to py++ and OMPL.

Expected Behavior

In X86_64, we are able to make the Python bindings with no errors. However, in ARM, we get the error stated in the description.

Example Code to Test the Error

from pygccxml import utils
from pygccxml import declarations
from pygccxml import parser
from pyplusplus import module_builder, messages
from pyplusplus.module_builder import call_policies

# Find the location of the xml generator (castxml or gccxml)
generator_path, generator_name = utils.find_xml_generator()

# Configure the xml generator
xml_generator_config = parser.xml_generator_configuration_t(
    xml_generator_path=generator_path,
    xml_generator=generator_name)

print(generator_name, generator_path)

name = "util"

mb = module_builder.module_builder_t(
            files=['util.h'],
            # cache is not used with compilation_mode = parser.COMPILATION_MODE.ALL_AT_ONCE
            # cache = '/workspaces/ompl_workspace/build/Release/pyplusplus_'+name+'.cache',
            xml_generator_config=xml_generator_config,
            compilation_mode=parser.COMPILATION_MODE.ALL_AT_ONCE,
            indexing_suite_version=2)
mb.classes().always_expose_using_scope = True
std_ns_decls = mb.namespace("std")

declarations.print_declarations(std_ns_decls)

Tried Potential Solutions

• We tried using different compilation modes (FILE_BY_FILE) instead of ALL_AT_ONCE and was able to build the util module but got the same multiple declaration error in other packages (base, geometric, etc).
• We tried cache as well and got the same multiple declaration error.
• We tried CastXML SuperBuild versions 0.6.5, 0.5.0 and 0.4.8. We still got the same multiple declaration error.
• We tried 2.5.0 and 2.2.1 pygccxml and found the same error.
• The error was found in Ubuntu Jammy.
