Any plans for new elfio release

[lamikr]

Is there any plans to do a new elfio release either from the latest master or for something like 3.12.1?
Current 3.12 version will have problem for building with the c/c++ header files.

Currently the latest release needs to patched with this:

diff --git a/elfio/elf_types.hpp b/elfio/elf_types.hpp
index c4f6b47..6859b21 100644
--- a/elfio/elf_types.hpp
+++ b/elfio/elf_types.hpp
@@ -23,6 +23,8 @@ THE SOFTWARE.
 #ifndef ELFTYPES_H
 #define ELFTYPES_H
 
+#include <cstdint>
+
 #ifdef __cplusplus
 namespace ELFIO {
 #endif

to avoid a following type of build errors:

elfio/elf_types.hpp:30:20:
    error: unknown type name 'uint16_t'
    9.5        30 | using Elf_Half   = uint16_t;

A maintainer has to answer the release-timing part, but the specific header issue is already fixed on main.

The latest GitHub release is still Release_3.12 from 2023-08-28, and that release does not include the later elf_types.hpp changes. On main, elf_types.hpp now includes <cstdint> and uses std::uint16_t, std::uint32_t, etc.; the relevant commits in 2025 added the missing include and then moved the typedefs to the std:: names.

Until a 3.12.1/new release is cut, the practical options are:

#include <cstdint>
#include <elfio/elfio.hpp>

as a local workaround if it is enough for your compiler path, vendor the current elf_types.hpp fix, or pin to a commit on main instead of the 3.12 release.
