Bug 207757 – [GStreamer] Build failure with Clang/libc++ due to missing WallTime→float for std::isnan()

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Adrian Perez]

WPE WebKit 2.27.90 (and most surely the GTK port as well) fail to build with
Clang when using libc++ (instead of GNU stdlibc++).

Configuration command:

  CC=clang CXX=clang++ \
  LDFLAGS='-stdlib=libc++ -fuse-ld=lld' \
  CXXLAGS='-stdlib=libc++' \
  cmake -DPORT=WPE -DUSE_LD_GOLD=OFF -DUSE_LD_LLD=ON <...>

Build error:

  ../Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/WebKitWebSourceGStreamer.cpp:1155:10: error: no matching function for call to 'isnan'
      if (!isnan(priv->downloadStartTime)) {

This happens in trunk as well. There are “std::isnan()” overloads
defined for “WTF::Walltime”, but Clang is being a bit more strict
than GCC here and not considering them when using a bare “isnan()“
call (without the namespace) because the overloaded version is
inside the namespace, and there us no “using std::isnan;” (or
equivalent) anywhere when non-unified builds are disabled.

The fix is to add the “std::” namespace prefix to the function
call =)
