Dear Maintainer,
When using RapidJSON in my C++ program, I got the following error message from
GCC:
/usr/include/rapidjson/document.h: In member function
‘rapidjson::GenericStringRef<CharType>&
rapidjson::GenericStringRef<CharType>::operator=(const
rapidjson::GenericStringRef<CharType>&)’:
/usr/include/rapidjson/document.h:319:82: error: assignment of read-only member
‘rapidjson::GenericStringRef<CharType>::length’
319 | GenericStringRef& operator=(const GenericStringRef& rhs) { s =
rhs.s; length = rhs.length; }
|
~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~
This issue does not occur with GCC 13 or Clang 18, but is reproducible with GCC
14 and Clang 19, regardless
of the C++ standard used, and even occurs with a minimal example that only
includes rapidjson/document.h.
The upstream GitHub repository (https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson) has
already removed that line
(https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson/commit/3b2441b87f99ab65f37b141a7b548ebadb607b96),
but since no official
version was released after v1.1.0 (August 2016), the latest official version
still has it, and causes the
problem with new compilers.
Despite many requests (see, for example:
https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson/issues/2321,
https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson/issues/2284,
https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson/issues/2266), Tencent
has no apparent intent to release a new version of RapidJSON in the visible
future.
Therefore, I strongly suggest that the Debian rapidjson package be updated to a
more recent upstream version.
