I encountered an error when compiling nginx-quic.

What is the nginx-quic revision?
What is a compiler and its version?

[yiguihai@…]

I don't know what version of nginx-quic is supposed to be the latest version.
This is the address of the source code package I downloaded.
​https://hg.nginx.org/nginx-quic/archive/quic.tar.gz

ubuntu-16.04
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
gcc 5.04

[yiguihai@…]

I made a typo in the gcc version and need to correct it.
built by gcc 5.5.0 20171010 (Ubuntu 5.5.0-12ubuntu1~16.04)
Linux 4.15.0-1098-azure x86_64

[Sergey Kandaurov]

Yes, this is a known issue when compiling with gcc5.
It is believed to be a defect in the compiler,
because newer gcc versions do not produce such an error.

As a workaround, you can build nginx-quic with -Wno-error=type-limits:
Add this gcc options to --with-cc-opt as follows:
--with-cc-opt='-Wno-error=type-limits'

Thank you for your helpfulness in helping me finally compile it!👍
Already compiled and approved

In 8671:5247461c17e1/nginx:

QUIC: fixed -Wtype-limits with GCC <= 5 (ticket #2104).
