[WebSocketpp] websocketpp/0.8.2: variable used which is deprecated.

[qashoou]

Description

Websocketpp is a header-only recipe that does not call CMake by itself in its build method, but when being consumed gives the error of a variable which is deprecated.

   82 |     lib::aligned_storage<size>::type m_storage;

Hi @qashoou thanks a lot for the report

This issue comes from upstream's usage of a deprecated feature in C++23.

Is there a chance that you're enabling Werror on your consumer side? Disabling those for this specific flag would be enough to work around the issue, as the websocketpp recipe itself is a header-only recipe and is not built by itself, but as part of your consumers.

If you need extra help, providing a full compilation log would help tremendously, thanks!

hey. Sorry for replying late.
I added the flag, -Werror=deprecated-declarations for now.
but our company policy is to treat all warnings as errors(-Werror). so, for compliance, we need either to have it fixed, or switch to another library perhaps.
thanks for the help, and I will keep an eye for a fix for this when it arrives.

Have you thought about opening an issue upstream? The last release is a some years old now, so it does not see much activity, but maybe they can fix this on their side and we can release a new version :)
