'<some system header>: error: ‘<insert function here>’ is not a member of ‘std’ ' after moving source file


Right after moving a source-file from my project to a subdirectory, gcc spit out a weird error (it did compile perfectly fine before)

make[3]: Entering directory '/home/rd/Desktop/fh/bf4/bbx/o4x/server/server_app/src'
  CXX      main.o
In file included from /usr/include/c++/9/bits/stl_algobase.h:69,
                 from /usr/include/c++/9/memory:62,
                 from /usr/include/c++/9/memory_resource:37,
                 from main.h:5,
                 from main.cpp:1:
./debug/debug.h:14:28: error: variable or field ‘debug_queue_addN’ declared void
   14 | void debug_queue_addN(std::string msg);
      |                            ^~~~~~
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.

I did managed to 'resolve' that problem by including < string > in said header file, however a new, even weirder error appeared.

      |                            ^~~~~~
compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors.

At this point I even tried including < algorithm > before any other inclusion anywhere else, but it didn't help at all. Instead it threw out this even weirder error...

Now, does anybody have an idea why this happens/ what I can do to fix this?

Also, here's the in the error output mentioned code.

Solution

  • From the errors, it seems that your debug/debug.h is being picked up by /usr/include/c++/9/bits/stl_algobase.h. This conflicts with the actual /usr/include/c++/9/debug/debug.h.

    On my system at least, these includes are done using the #include <...> form, ie by searching the system include path. It looks like you added compilation flags that put your code also on that path. Something as innocent as -I., perhaps?

    To solve this problem you should either get rid of the extra -I flag or rename your debug/debug.h file.
