Issue and Steps to Reproduce

When testing Clang 19 in some fuzzing infra, we noticed that lighting failed to compile (master at 5ec5580):

# clang-19 --version

Thanks for reporting, will try to reproduce and patch it

Updated the issue, now that Clang 19 is available: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-19.1.0.
