Unable to build using g++12 / apple clang 14

[H4kt]

Hey there,
I'm really curious about this project because it really allows me to get rid of all of the pain when working with JNI

Environment:

OS: macOS 13.0
Processor/Arch: Apple M1 Pro

Use case

I was attempting to build a modified sample from your readme file just to get started

File structure

src/main.cpp

#include "ktbind/ktbind.hpp"

struct Sample {
    Sample();
    Sample(const char*);
    Sample(std::string);
};

DECLARE_NATIVE_CLASS(Sample, "io.h4kt.sample.Sample")

JAVA_EXTENSION_MODULE() {
    using namespace java;
    native_class<Sample>()
        .constructor<Sample()>("create")
        .constructor<Sample(std::string)>("create")
    ;
    print_registered_bindings();
}

I tried building it using Gradle with cpp-library plugin and even tried a manual build using g++ in a command line.
Both ways were unsuccessful

Apple clang using Gradle

buid.gradle.kts

plugins {
    id("cpp-library")
}

val javaHome: String by project

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

library {

    source.from("src")
    privateHeaders.from("src")

    publicHeaders.from(
        "include",
        "$javaHome/include",
        "$javaHome/include/darwin"
    )

}

tasks.withType<CppCompile> {
    compilerArgs.add("-std=c++17")
}

output

Initially, I had experienced the same error message when running CMake on macOS Ventura 13.1 (Processor: 2,3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9):

I had also tried setting the compiler to Clang version 15.0.6 (installed with Homebrew), to no avail. It turns out the culprit is in struct ArgType<T>:

// returns the corresponding array type for the base type
constexpr static std::string_view array_type_prefix = "[";
constexpr static std::string_view array_type_sig = join_v<array_type_prefix, ArgType<T>::type_sig>;

After these (unused) constant expressions have been removed, the project compiles without error, and unit tests in the Kotlin project succeed.

The changes are pushed to my fork of KtBind. (I am no longer affiliated with Kheiron Medical and don't control this repository.)
