xcode - Missing C++ header <__debug> after updating OSX Command Line Tools 6.3

Question

After updating to Command Line Tools 6.3 from the App Store, programs including <vector> or <iterator> which internally include <__debug> will cause file not found error as follows. The cpp is nothing interesting but includes in one of the included headers.

c++ -O3 -I/Users/farleylai/Documents/dev/git/ESMS/Optimizer/../StreamIt/src/cluster/headers -L/Users/farleylai/Documents/dev/git/ESMS/Optimizer/../StreamIt/build/binaries/clusterStaticLibrary /Users/farleylai/Documents/dev/git/ESMS/Optimizer/build/StreamIt/FIR/511/512/combined_threads.cpp -o streamit -lcluster -lpthread -lstdc++

         ^

Any ideas to fix this? I don't expect to specify any additional C++ flags.

Thanks.

Updates:

The issue is verified by Apple on their developer's forum. In Command Line Tools 6.2, the inclusion of __debug is conditionally guarded as follows but not in 6.3.

#ifdef _LIBCPP_DEBUG
#   include <__debug>
#else
#   define _LIBCPP_ASSERT(x, m) ((void)0)
#endif

And libcxx people talked about removing the guards of __debug here. It feels like __debug never exists on OSX.

Answer 1

Downgrade the Command Line Tools to 6.2 via Apple's Developer Download Page.

Be careful to download the correct version for your OS X:

• OS X 10.10 commandlinetoolsosx10.10forxcode6.2.dmg
• OS X 10.9 commandlinetoolsosx10.9forxcode6.2.dmg

This works because the inclusion of __debug is conditionally guarded as follows in Command Line Tools 6.2 but not in 6.3.

#ifdef _LIBCPP_DEBUG
#   include <__debug>
#else
#   define _LIBCPP_ASSERT(x, m) ((void)0)
#endif

In my opinion this is the safest way, because:

1. You don't compromise your toolchain
2. You can easily upgrade via the App Store when Apple fixes the issue
3. If you add a file manually you have to delete it later or more problems could occur

Update - 21.04.2015

Problem fixed by Apple. After installing Command Line Tools 6.3.1 everything works as expected!
