I have problems with clangd where it is claiming that a comparison is not possible between std::string and const char [521].
// Image returns a std::string REQUIRE ( surface->image() == ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" ".........................\n" );Here the error message:
Invalid operands to binary expression ('string' (aka 'basic_string<char>') and 'const char[521]') (clang)
Another example:
std::println("string size {}", sizeof(std::string));In template: no matching constructor for initialization of 'basic_string_view' (clang)
The compile_commands.json is generated and registered in .clangd:
InlayHints: Enabled: false CompileFlags: CompilationDatabase: buildThe miracle to me is; the compiler compiles everything fine. I am using clang++ and all tools in version 20.1.2. Is this a bug or am I missing some configs? The compile commands are based on the CMakeLists.txt:
... set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 23) set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON) add_compile_options(-stdlib=libc++ -mavx -march=native) add_link_options(-stdlib=libc++) set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON) ...Edit: Here an ls -l on /usr/lib/llvm-20/bin:
