type alias redefinition for Realm_Config

[adamski]

SDK: 0.4.0-preview
macOS 13.4

I'm getting the following build error when integrating Realm into an existing C++ CMake project:

cmake-build-debug/_deps/cpprealm-build/src/cpprealm/internal/bridge/bridge_types.hpp:46:8: error: type alias redefinition with different types ('std::aligned_storage<312, 8>::type' vs 'std::aligned_storage<368, 16>::type')
;using Realm_Config = std::aligned_storage<312, 8>::type;
       ^
cmake-build-debug/_deps/cpprealm-build/src/cpprealm/internal/bridge/bridge_types.hpp:9:8: note: previous definition is here
;using Realm_Config = std::aligned_storage<368, 16>::type;

[adamski]

The error went away for a while, and now it's back. Not sure what is causing it. Any clues?

[adamski]

It seems to be caused by this block of CMake settings, that set the build to be universal x86_64 and arm64:

set(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET "10.9" CACHE STRING "Minimum OS X deployment version" FORCE)
set(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "x86_64;arm64" CACHE STRING "Architectures" FORCE)
set(CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET[arch=arm64] "11.0" CACHE STRING "arm 64 minimum deployment target" FORCE)

[leemaguire]

@adamski I see your issue, it's trying to compile a universal binary, and that is something our bridging code that talks to RealmCore is not handling correctly. You should be able to build successfully by setting your target architecture on your machine for now while we look into this. E.g set(CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES "arm64" CACHE STRING "Architectures" FORCE) in the case you are working from an Arm based Mac.

[adamski]

Yes it works correctly after removing the universal binary settings.
@leemaguire can you please confirm the minimum target SDK required too? I was getting some errors after setting the min to 11.0 on macOS on arm.

[leemaguire]

@adamski the minimum macOS version we support is 12.

[adamski]

Just FYI (and forgive me if I'm stating the obvious) this issue also blocks iOS simulator builds, with the same error as above:

Type alias redefinition with different types ('std::aligned_storage<312, 8>::type' vs 'std::aligned_storage<368, 16>::type')

Device-only builds are not affected.

[adamski]

@leemaguire thanks for adding the REALM_DISABLE_ALIGNED_STORAGE option, which looks like it should fix this issue.

Just to let you know I'm still getting the above error:

[leemaguire]

@adamski cleaning your build folder should resolve that as the fresh build won't generate a bridge_types.hpp header.

The fix here on my side is to group all of the type definitions by architecture inside of bridge_types.hpp.

[adamski]

Thanks @leemaguire - it seems that both with the flag set and without I'm still getting the error, also after cleaning the build folder. This is the contents of my bridge_types.hpp when building a universal binary for macOS, with duplicated definitions.

I can archive successfully with -DREALM_DISABLE_ALIGNED_STORAGE=1, I have however managed to reproduce the duplicate alias issue when the flag is not present.

Did you delete your cmake-build-debug/_deps/cpprealm-build folder before rebuilding? It's likely the generated header is hanging around in there from the old builds before -DREALM_DISABLE_ALIGNED_STORAGE=1 was enabled.

[adamski]

Ok thanks @leemaguire it looks like I was setting the definition in the wrong place. Setting it in the cmake command line works, I'm now figuring out where to set it in the CMakeLists.txt so it sticks..

[adamski]

@leemaguire do you have any tips on how to add this to a CMakeLists.txt?

If I add add_definitions(-DREALM_DISABLE_ALIGNED_STORAGE=1) to the top level CMakeLists, I get the build error. I also get the error if I add it with target_compile_definitions:

target_compile_definitions(cpprealm PUBLIC REALM_DISABLE_ALIGNED_STORAGE=1)

If I add it to the cmake command, it works. Ideally I would keep it in the CMakeLists.txt only.

[leemaguire]

@adamski add set(REALM_DISABLE_ALIGNED_STORAGE 1 CACHE STRING "Disable aligned storage in Realm") at the top of your CMakeLists.txt
