I recently installed include-what-you-use (IWYU) to try it out. I am on version include-what-you-use 0.12 based on clang version 9.0.1-10. (My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL1)
I tried to do a very simple example on a source code file, but it quickly comes back as an error on the very first include? (Which is just a c standard library file)
After running
include-what-you-use myutils.cpp:
In file included from myutils.cpp:8:
In file included from ./myutils.h:11:
/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/../../../../include/c++/9/cfloat:42:10: fatal error: 'float.h' file not found
#include <float.h>
^~~~~~~~~
Why is it error'ing out on a c standard library include?
I cannot post the entire source here, and without extensive testing I am not sure what minimal example would cause this problem.
Am I just mis-using IWYU? I installed it via apt rather than building it and llvm/clang/etc from scratch. Is that fine?
