It's not you, Mike. I got the same error.
There appears to be an extraneous definition of the variable "var" at line 1433
of src/UserFunction.cc <http://userfunction.cc/> that is being flagged by the
compiler. Just FYI - I'm running macOS 26.1 on Apple Silicon using the compiler
in Xcode 26.1.1. The compiler is Apple clang version 17.0.0 (clang 1700.4.4.1)
Looking over the code, there is no use of that variable in the scope in which
it's defined. I compiled SVN 1912 on Linux (Fedora 43, gcc 15.2.1) and get no
error or warning displayed.
I simply commented the extraneous definition out. The compilation succeeded and
I've not found any ill effects.
Here's the diff:

See if this works for you.
