libcxxabi-14.0.6 fails to compile with: ../include/c++/v1/__bit/bit_cast.h:31:38: error: expected primary-expression before ‘,’ token

hey everyone,

I ran into a compile error when compiling libcxxabi:

Originally reported downstream in Gentoo by OP at #56828.

The bug is for w/ GCC 10, 11 is fine.

[stefson]

the issue was first detected on aarch64, but happens as well on amd64 hardware.

my toolchain is gcc-10 based, and it seems this is an issue here for unknown reasons. libcxxabi does compile if using a gcc-11 based toolchain.

I'm running into this as well, using default GCC 10 from Debian. In some quick tag checking, I get build failures starting with llvmorg-14.0.0-rc1, but llvmorg-13.0.1 builds correctly

[ldionne]

Closing as stale since there has been no new reports and LLVM 14 is a few years old. I assume this works now or people are using more recent toolchains.
