#error "unknown standard library"

It looks like this happens when _LIBCPP_ABI_NAMESPACE is not defined:

c4core/src/c4/std/vector_fwd.hpp

Lines 27 to 35 in e55d82c

	#elif defined(_LIBCPP_ABI_NAMESPACE)
	namespace std {
	inline namespace _LIBCPP_ABI_NAMESPACE {
	template<typename> class allocator;
	template<typename T, typename Alloc> class vector;
	} // namespace _LIBCPP_ABI_NAMESPACE
	} // namespace std
	#else
	#error "unknown standard library"

It looks like _LIBCPP_ABI_NAMESPACE was introducd in llvm/llvm-project@fe13c13 which first appeared in llvm.org clang 8 a.k.a. Apple clang 11.

@ryandesign thanks for the input. I have no practical way to figure out what should go in the alternative branch. If you have the opportunity and are inclined, a PR with the proper fwd declaration would be very welcome.
