Compilation Error with non-trivial designated initializers when installing unf_ext (0.0.9) on Ruby 2.3.1 on Linux

[lemsx1]

This patch fixed the issue for me ^^^

Can the offending gem be removed from rubygems.org?

[vbatychko-modeln]

I have the same issue on Amazon Linux II,

An error occurred while installing unf_ext (0.0.9), and Bundler cannot continue

[clintmod]

Unitl the fix is published you can pin your project to the old version by adding this to your Gemfile

gem 'unf_ext', '= 0.0.8'

We're also seeing this on Centos7:

Error message is same as above

Ruby version: 3.2.2

This appears to be caused by #72 along with a specific (?) version of g++.

@ABHIJITH-EA Please add details about your specific operating system (i.e. distribution and version) as well as your specific g++ version.

Similar issue with el7, debian9, ubuntu 16 and ubuntu 18 using ruby 3.1.0

[APeter0807]

Also observed on Amazon Linux 2 running the following Ruby/GCC combination:

ruby 2.3.5p376
gcc (GCC) 7.3.1

[acLebert]

Same issue causing all of our pipelines to fail to deploy.

Ruby ruby 2.6.6p146

Will update when I get a resp back from our Infru regarding out GCC combo we use.
