            Bug ID: 285657
           Summary: editors/abiword: fix build with libc++ 19
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dim@FreeBSD.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(gnome@FreeBSD.org)
          Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org

As noted in the libc++ 19 release notes [1], std::char_traits<> is now
only provided for char, char8_t, char16_t, char32_t and wchar_t, and any
instantiation for other types will fail.

This causes editors/abiword to fail to compile with clang 19 and
libc++ 19, resulting in errors similar to:

  /usr/include/c++/v1/string:820:42: error: implicit instantiation of undefined
template 'std::char_traits<unsigned int>'
    820 |   static_assert(is_same<_CharT, typename
traits_type::char_type>::value,
        |                                          ^
  ut_string_class.cpp:1275:41: note: in instantiation of template class
'std::basic_string<unsigned int>' requested here
   1275 |         :       pimpl(new UT_StringImpl<UT_UCS4Char>(*rhs.pimpl))
        |                                                      ^
  /usr/include/c++/v1/__fwd/string.h:23:29: note: template is declared here
     23 | struct _LIBCPP_TEMPLATE_VIS char_traits;
        |                             ^

This can be fixed by defining `UT_UCS4Char` as `char32_t` instead of
`gunichar`, and patching up a few places where those types are mixed
indiscriminately.
