Package: libgsl23
Version: 2.5+dfsg-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The following program will not compile when using a c++ compiler:
#include <gsl/gsl_filter.h>
int main()
{
}
This gives the following error:
$ g++ tmp.cpp -o tmp
In file included from /usr/include/gsl/gsl_filter.h:25:0,
from tmp.cpp:1:
/usr/include/gsl/gsl_movstat.h:58:9: error: expected unqualified-id before
‘delete’
int (*delete) (void * vstate);
^~~~~~
/usr/include/gsl/gsl_movstat.h:58:9: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘delete’
This is due to C++ conflicting with the delete operator in the header. This
should have been fixed upstream [1], but I can't see that this has actually
been pushed to the gsl git repo [2].
Without this fix it is not possible for a user to use the new filter functions,
unless they manually alter gsl_movstat.h
