Hi,
thank you all for discussing this.
To address at least some of the issues i have:
1, removed typeof() entirely, and
2. replaced *std::auto_ptr<>* with *std::unique_ptr<>*
as proposed on the internet.
I am not entirely sure about 2. though. It was only used twice
in emacs_mode and once in apl-sqlite.cc. Unfortunately I am
lacking any emacs experience and can therefore not easily
test the changes. Maybe Elias wants to have a look at it
(IMHO some uses of *auto_ptr* can be avoided entirely).
If my changes should break anything then please let me know.
*SVN 1736*.
Best Regards,
Jürgen

Aha! I got it to build. In Termux, which currently uses clang-16:
After running ./configure,
1. Add -std=gnu++11, rather than c++11, to src/Makefile and
src/emacs_mode/Makefile CXXFLAGS;
2. Add #include <pthread.h> to src/Thread_context.cc and change the
call near line 49 from pthread_cancel(thread) to pthread_kill(thread, 0)
In regards to pthread_cancel() ...
I hope the following is not true: Termux (or Android beneath it) uses
'bionic libc' that does not implement pthread_cancel according to
https://github.com/termux/termux-app/discussions/2639
Some discussion about emulating it or replacing with
pthread_kill(thread, 0) here:
https://github.com/axel-download-accelerator/axel/issues/150
I don't know who or what to test to see what deleterious effects, if
any, using pthread_kill() instead of pthread_cancel() will have on
operation. However, the main prompt comes up and I can run basic APL
expressions.

Hi Russ –
On OpenBSD, clang has been the default compiler for many years. I
routinely build APL trunk on OpenBSD, and never had any problems
so long as I add -std=gnu++11 to CXXFLAGS. I just rebuilt APL from
a clean SVN checkout and it built without issues.
I am using clang-16.0.6. Not sure what version Termux uses these days.

Hello, See topic.
I would rather not, but in this case I am trying to re-build GNU
APL in Termux on my newer Android phone, and Termux decided some
time ago to remove gcc entirely from its packages, in
preference to clang. :(
I am not up to date at all on modern C++, but this conversation on
Stackoverflow suggests that auto_ptr is considered deprecated in
newer C++ standards:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69116001/how-do-i-re-enable-c17-removed-features-in-clang

std::auto_ptr<NetworkConnection> connection( (NetworkConnection

Adding -std=c++11 to src/emacs-mode/Makefile CXXFLAGS got me past
the auto_ptr issues, but then I hit issues with 'typeof()' in
LineInput.cc:
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wall -I sql -I

Has anyone managed to build and successfully run GNU APL with clang?
