All,
I am trying to compile KiCad with the latest compilers and libraries from Apple. I am getting an error in common/tool/tool_manager.cpp at line 180.

What is is complaining about is the std:stack stateStack is taking a template parameter TOOL_STATE. However, at this point we are still in the definition of TOOL_STATE so that TOOL_STATE is an incomplete type so the sizeof in the header isn’t working.

Looking at the code, I don’t see a simple way to fix it. Apple’s latest library is compliant to the C++ standard so I suspect the next version of g++ will also complain about this usage. Any thoughts? Maybe use a pointer to the state in the stack and then use new/copy/delete.

Thank you for the information. Could you try the attached patch? If everything is fine, I will push it to the product branch.

Regards,
Orson
