Errors when building with Clang

When building with Clang, I'm getting these errors:

> colcon build --cmake-args -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++

Clang, what for? Never tried to build rclcpp with it.

[mishmetall]

Clang has various features for analysis, e.g. Quality guide: ensuring code quality, but it's also a good thing to not depend on a single WoW, gcc and clang are the most widely used compilers

[vooon]

So, does rclcpp and other components compile fine? I'm not quite interested in jumping and changing rcl's macros across whole codebase of mavros.

[mishmetall]

Not sure about rclcpp, never tried, but other components that I tried to compile just fine. I guess Mavros will compile just fine as well if this problem is fixed, I have seen only this issue so far

[mishmetall]

It's mentioned in the documentation that it is possible to do Ros2 Building with clang

I want to solve this problem too. trying to install on mac(apple silicon) but fails with same error msg
