NodeJS >= 22.2.0 doesn't build on Debian about node

[RedYetiDev]

Is this specific to that docker container (or Debian), or can these reproduce on other Linux versions / containers?

[x-yuri]

Judging from the linked issue it's not specific to containers. With Alpine Linux there are other issues. Not this specific one.

[RedYetiDev]

FWIW I'm able to build fine on Kali Linux (which is based on Debian)

@RedYetiDev And which version of the compiler/library do you have there? In my case it must be this I guess:

$ dpkg -l | grep stdc++\\\|g++

I meant the compiler/library you used to build NodeJS. Because it may have something to do with versions.

Anyway, I'll probably try to reconfirm it, but it seems to start to fail in this commit.

[targos]

There's a bug in GCC 12 that causes these errors. We use GCC 11 in CI on Debian 12 to avoid it.

[x-yuri]

Indeed. With GCC 11 it succeeds:

docker run --rm debian:bookworm-slim bash -euxc '
    apt-get update
    apt-get install -y git python3 g++-11 make
    git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node
    cd node
    CXX=g++-11 CC=gcc-11 ./configure
    make
'

With GCC 12 it starts to fail in e4b187433d. If that's bug in GCC 12, case closed then I guess?

[RedYetiDev]

Closing as the issue seems to be with GCC12, if you disagree, reopen.
