the use of `_Generic` within ngtcp2, which is not a C++ language feature, but we include the ngtcp2 headers in our node\\_quic C++ source.\n\nclang supports `_Generic` in all language modes as a non-standard extension, but gcc does not, so this hard-breaks gcc builds.\n\n```console\n$ g++-14 -o /opt/node/out/Release/obj.target/node_base/src/quic/http3.o ../src/quic/http3.cc
