stardict: variable length array of non-POD element type

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

​stardict 3.0.2 fails to build on the Lion buildbot with the error:

t_lookupdata.cpp:20:30: error: variable length array of non-POD element type 'std::vector<gchar *>'
        std::vector<gchar *> reslist[dictmask.size()];
                                    ^
1 error generated.
make[2]: *** [t_lookupdata.o] Error 1

Maybe updating to 3.0.3 will help, maybe not.

It works with: sudo port install stardict configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

Has duplicate #40563.

3.0.4 still has the problem so I filed an upstream bug report and blacklisted clang in r111503.

In 818b513f1c61d2fa808b1ce5b02d7f77a241871c/macports-ports (master):

stardict: Update to 3.0.6

Fix build failure by requiring C++11 due to libsigcxx2.

Fix gnome variant.

Remove unneeded patches and add new patches.

Allow Clang to be used.

See: #34517

Project moves away from Google Code to SourceForge.

See: #53467

The original problem is still happening on older OS versions:

​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.10_x86_64-builder/builds/102191/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

But I didn't see the problem when building on High Sierra. Maybe this is a feature introduced in newer versions of clang, and we need to blacklist older ones.

Cf. #59537

​https://code.google.com/archive/p/stardict-3/issues/58

which was auto imported to:

Upstream says they fixed it in 2013, but their fix appears to have been ineffective. I've added a note to the GitHub issue.
