when use c++20, compile failed about websocketpp

[PoetaKodu]

I get the same error. The reason is the changed wording in the class section of the C++20 standard paper.

When using C++20, this code is invalid:

template <typename T>
struct Foo {
	Foo<T>() { }
	~Foo<T>() { }
};

The <T> part has to be omitted.

Apparently, MSVC doesn't enforce this rule, but GCC 10.2 from my WSL2 Ubuntu does.

Same problem. Here is my log:

How we can fix that problem?

[ebalo55]

It is not a real fix but lowering cxx version to c++17 solved this same issue for me

[pajlada]

You can either use the develop branch which contains a fix for this, downgrade to C++17, or apply a patch like https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/zaphoyd/websocketpp/pull/1060.patch

This is a duplicate of #1058 and probably many others.
