Required prerequisites

• Make sure you've read the documentation. Your issue may be addressed there.
• Search the issue tracker and Discussions to verify that this hasn't already been reported. +1 or comment there if it has.
• Consider asking first in the Gitter chat room or in a Discussion.

What version (or hash if on master) of pybind11 are you using?

v2.13.0 & v2.13.1 & #5203

Problem description

So basically, with tag v 2.13.0 a bug considering the GNU 14 compiler was introduced in typing.h line 104 with std::copy_n

tag v2.12.0 works.

So looking at the changelog of the GNU compiler they state this on how to port the code to gcc-14.

"""
C++ language issues
Header dependency changes
Some C++ Standard Library headers have been changed to no longer include other headers that were being used internally by the library. As such, C++ programs that used standard library components without including the right headers will no longer compile.

The following headers are used less widely in libstdc++ and may need to be included explicitly when compiling with GCC 14:

(for std::copy_n, std::find_if, std::lower_bound, std::remove, std::reverse, std::sort etc.)
...
"""

Reproducible example code

No response

Is this a regression? Put the last known working version here if it is.

v2.12.0

I get

[  116s] /usr/include/pybind11/typing.h:104:58: error: 'copy_n' is not a member of 'std'; did you mean 'copy'?
[  116s]   104 |     constexpr StringLiteral(const char (&str)[N]) { std::copy_n(str, N, name); }
[  116s]       |                                                          ^~~~~~

Isnt there just missing an #include <algorithm>?

[97gamjak]

Yes, but shouldn't this #include be included in the typing.h file?

[Mizux]

seems a duplicate of:

• [BUG]: Compilation failure with GCC 10.2 on pybind11 2.13.0 (typing.h, line 209) #5201

TLDR: some versions of gcc seems to miss some c++20 STL template functions...

[rwgk]

Yes, but shouldn't this #include be included in the typing.h file?

This was a pybind11 bug (missing include) that was fixed already on master. It'll be in the next release.
