Missing C++ header after updating OSX Command Line Tools 6.3

by

Downgrade the Command Line Tools to 6.2 via Apple’s Developer Download Page.

Be careful to download the correct version for your OS X:

  • OS X 10.10 commandlinetoolsosx10.10forxcode6.2.dmg
  • OS X 10.9 commandlinetoolsosx10.9forxcode6.2.dmg

This works because the inclusion of __debug is conditionally guarded as follows in Command Line Tools 6.2 but not in 6.3.

#ifdef _LIBCPP_DEBUG
#   include <__debug>
#else
#   define _LIBCPP_ASSERT(x, m) ((void)0)
#endif

In my opinion this is the safest way, because:

  1. You don’t compromise your toolchain
  2. You can easily upgrade via the App Store when Apple fixes the issue
  3. If you add a file manually you have to delete it later or more problems could occur

Update – 21.04.2015

Problem fixed by Apple.
After installing Command Line Tools 6.3.1 everything works as expected!
