The issue involves std::char_traits: LLVM 19 removed its unconstrained base template because the C++ Standard does not require it for unsigned-character types. Code may need string concatenation and related operations replaced or a correct custom specialization provided. ### Source excerpt Brief post on a somewhat vexing and irritating C++ problem I ran into some time ago. I hope that this page will help other people deal with this problem more quickly than I did. I've long used std::basic_string, an unsigned char string, for fiddling with bits. You could use a regular char string, but especially when doing cryptographic or sub-byte operations, it is more convenient to not have to deal with sign bits. ## Lookat 2.1.0 released DevFeed: [Lookat 2.1.0 released]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Staf Wagemakers Published: 2025-09-14T18:04:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [stafwag Blog]() Topics: [Unix](), [color](), [browser](), [changelog]() Tags: [2](), [2025](), [ansi](), [browser](), [bsd](), [changelog](), [color](), [freebsd](), [git](), [linux](), [lookat](), [manpage](), [ncurses](), [netbsd](), [openbsd](), [release](), [unix]() ### AI overview Lookat/Bekijk 2.1.0 is the latest stable release of a Unix file browser and viewer that supports colored man pages.
