script/spec-runner.js

+  // v8 headers use c++20 so override the gyp default of -std=c++14,
  // but don't clobber any other CXXFLAGS that were passed into spec-runner.js
-  const CXXFLAGS = ['-std=c++17', process.env.CXXFLAGS].filter(x => !!x).join(' ');
+  const CXXFLAGS = ['-std=c++20', process.env.CXXFLAGS].filter(x => !!x).join(' ');


Suggested change

const CXXFLAGS = ['-std=c++20', process.env.CXXFLAGS].filter(x => !!x).join(' ');

const CXXFLAGS = ['-std=gnu++20', process.env.CXXFLAGS].filter(x => !!x).join(' ');

if the CI uses gcc <= 9 then it would be -std=gnu++2a but no need to make the condition if it passes with the above.

Not new to this PR -- for example, I see we had gnu++17 before -- but does anyone know if the GNU extensions are actually needed here?

Unless we need the GNU extensions, we'd be better off using the standard, i.e. -std=c++20 here and in the patch above

We don't use it but the headers from Node.js could, but I missed this before but we should actually remove the -std argument from this list, it will get set by common.gypi when building the native modules. We were overriding previously when headers had c++14 and we wanted to use c++17.

Thanks!

LGTM

g++: error: unrecognized command line option '-std=gnu++20'; did you mean '-std=gnu++2a'?

some failures - investigating!

deepak1556 · 2024-09-05T10:05:03Z

@codebytere that is the one I mentioned in #43555 (comment). If the CI uses gcc <= 9 which in this case seems to be we would need to override the CXXFLAGS. You can get the version from g++ -dumpversion.

codebytere · 2024-09-05T10:09:59Z

@deepak1556 ah understood - i read #43555 (comment) as meaning we should just remove it entirely.

deepak1556 · 2024-09-05T10:33:23Z

i read #43555 (comment) as meaning we should just remove it entirely.

You are correct, I did mean we could remove it completely if CI passed by using newer gcc which I was not sure when the comment was made. Given the current failure we had to bring this back.
