Description

The commit cd5808eb introduced a union as a storage for the format argument passed to the internal API fmt::detail::make_arg. This was done to solve the issue that the internal API no longer accepted temporary variables.

However, it's generally better to avoid using internal APIs, as they are more likely to have breaking changes in the future. Instead, we can use the public API fmt::dynamic_format_arg_store to dynamically build the argument list. This API accepts temporary variables, and its behavior is more stable than the internal API.

How can this PR be tested?

Nice! Thanks for noticing.

Can you rebase this back to 10.11?

Are the libfmt versions supporting this public API back to the original minimum supported (v 8 something I think)?

Thanks! Logic looks good to me.

fmtlib/fmt@6012dc9 seems to be the commit that introduced fmt::dynamic_format_arg_store. It was then released in 6.2.0, so compatibility-wise it should be okay.

Though, for consistency, I believe cmake/libfmt.cmake needs to be updated too.

right, let's fix cmake/libfmt.cmake too, it is supposed to test the availability of the API that the code is using, not availability of something completely different

Good catch, I'll make the change as soon as possible, thanks!

I've updated libfmt.cmake to reflect the changes. I also refactored it a bit so the source check can be reuse for both "system" and "bundled".

Looks like the bundled libfmt is not downloading after my refactor of libfmt.cmake, working on it now.

The commit cd5808e introduced a union as a storage for the format
argument passed to the internal API fmt::detail::make_arg. This was done
to solve the issue that the internal API no longer accepted temporary
variables.

However, it's generally better to avoid using internal APIs, as they are
more likely to have breaking changes in the future. Instead, we can use
the public API fmt::dynamic_format_arg_store to dynamically build the
argument list. This API accepts temporary variables, and its behavior is
more stable than the internal API. `libfmt.cmake` is updated to reflect
the change as well.

I mistake that ExternalProject_Add happens at configuration time and actually it's build time. In this case bundled libfmt is not available at the time thus CHECK_CXX_SOURCE_RUN() failed. I've reverted back the refactor and only updated the test code and it should works now.
