I think the readme can specify the version to be below 3.0 (currently it says that the version can be somewhere around 2.9)

[kfirufk]

on gentoo linux i have a problem compiling with cpp-argparse v2.9 or v3.0

this is with 3.0:

me too in Arch Linux https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xeus-cling#comment-947511

[JoelSjogren]

Thank you for forwarding this @carlosal1015. I have now learned a little more about C++ and am trying to solve this problem. The && symbol in the error messages is essentially referring to the moving of objects in C++. The README of argparse mentions that copying and moving are forbidden (see also https://github.com/p-ranav/argparse/issues/260). My first instinct is now to wrap argparser in a unique_ptr so it can be returned without copying.

(In the event that this solution cause undefined behavior [e.g. maybe due to things being freed when going out of scope], one could add another layer of indirection by using callbacks in order to keep things on the stack for a longer period of time. I made a sketch of this kind of solution as well but hopefully it won't be necessary to use it.)

[JoelSjogren]

For any arch linux user wishing to build and install xeus-cling with my changes:

• git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/xeus-cling.git
• makepkg inside the downloaded folder (it will give the error discussed above)
• copy over the new contents of src/xmagics from my branch
• makepkg --noextract -si

[carlosal1015]

Many thanks @JoelSjogren. ~I will push soon~. Pushed,

[b1shtream]

@anutosh491 I am also facing the same build error. Did you figure out how to solve this? There's a PR #512 too but not being merged yet. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4.

(xeus-cling) ukiyo@ukiyo-Nitro-AN515-44:~/xeus-cling/build$ cmake && make install

[anutosh491]

Hey @JoelSjogren @chococandy63 @carlosal1015

I believe #522 should be the correct fix for this. Y'all can have a look

[JoelSjogren]

Looks fine to me if it works. I don't know exactly what the versioning constraints are for but your approach with references is technically simpler than my unique_ptr approach.

[anutosh491]

Exactly. It's a simpler approach and supports compatibility with cpp-argparse 3.xx

Thanks, I replaced old PR with this one in AUR package.

[carlosal1015]

Hi @JoelSjogren @chococandy63 looks like that this patch is not working for argparse 3.0-2.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xeus-cling#comment-968030

[papoteur-mga]

I'm facing the same error, with cling 0.9 , argparse 3.0 and nlohmann-json 3.11.2

Hi @JoelSjogren @chococandy63 looks like that this patch is not working for argparse 3.0-2.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xeus-cling#comment-968030

But this ticket is closed. Should a new one be opened? @carlosal1015 Which fix has been used in Arch?
