Apparently, until this is fixed upstream, GCC <14.x requires -DKJ_NO_EXCEPTIONS=0 whenever it processes capnproto/c++/src/kj/common.h.

On NetBSD 11.0, the default compiler is GCC 12.5, which means the devel/capnproto binary package cannot be used.

unrelated, as this is just move-only, but this could be explained a bit better.

I presume this is just about the c++20 features and has nothing to do with netbsd? I presume netbsd 10 ships with gcc 10?

In that case, I wonder if there should be a CI task to confirm the C++20 used here compiles with gcc 11. edit: done in #330

Also, if true, maybe the comment can instead say:

Force later GCC version, because on NetBSD 10 the default GCC 10 is too old to compile the C++ code in this repo.

Yes, It's 10.5.0.

I presume this is just about the c++20 features and has nothing to do with netbsd?

I've just built on NetBSD 10.1 using the default GCC 10.5.0 compiler.

NetBSD 9.x will become unsupported once release 11.0 is released.
Also document a workaround for a bug in Cap'n Proto affecting compilers
prior to GCC 14.

Thank you for your feedback. I reworked this PR and switched all NetBSD jobs to the system's default compilers.

I'm very confused by this PR. There is no description. The first comment is a link to a failing CI job with no context and link to a Bitcoin bug. Then there is a request for a stack trace, then a stack trace, and then discussion GCC versions and and c++20 features. Unclear what the CI failure and stack trace have to do with KJ_NO_EXCEPTIONS.

The code changes here seem fine. It does seem good to drop netbsd 9.4, add netbsd 11.0, stop hardcoding GCC 14, drop unneeded semicolons, and use -DKJ_NO_EXCEPTIONS=0 to work around capnproto/capnproto#2756.

But it would be really helpful if PR had a description and commit messages that said what the motivation for the individual changes to make this less confusing and make understanding these change possible in the future

In commit "ci: Switch to default compiler on NetBSD 9.4" (2d33b14)

I was confused by inconsistency here between CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS but apparently this is needed because cmake ignores uses CXXFLAGS and ignores CPPFLAGS

In commit "ci: Switch to default compiler on NetBSD 9.4" (2d33b14)

It'd be nice if commit message said what motivation was for this change. It seems like this is switching to an older compiler and adding a workaround only needed in the older compiler. Unclear why this is better than just using the newer compiler.

EDIT: Looking at next commit, reason for doing this seems to be newer netbsd version added in next commit that maybe doesn't support GCC 14, or maybe defaults to a newer version that would be preferred for wider coverage?

I presume the rationale is that the default compiler is more likely used (by default), so documenting the workaround for it seems fine.

However, using GCC 14, or anything else, will work equally as a workaround and seems fine as well.
