the package names of the dependencies are the same as in FreeBSD btw

this error is not in dpp, it looks like your standard libraries are broken?

[braindigitalis]

definitely something sus with openbsd here:

this is a bug in the headers in openbsd and not something we can fix as far as I can tell. have you tried updating openbsd?

The issue has been around for many years and affects many projects. C++ just doesn't seem well tested there.

if you do find a workaround that doesn't break other systems a PR would be welcomed. I don't have access to an openbsd system to test this.

i updated my system but still the same error

[Jaskowicz1]

I'm now investigating this.

[Jaskowicz1]

This issue still persists as of the latest version of OpenBSD (install73.iso, amd64).

[Jaskowicz1]

I've got a fix, i'm testing it and ensuring that everything works. Will launch a PR soon.

[Jaskowicz1]

I've launched a PR to fix this #880 :)
