Can not build with GCC 9/11+

[geoyee]

Hi, when i build this project by cmake (WSL2 and GCC 9/11+), i get some errors :

[build] In file included from /home/user/schwarzwald/schwarzwald/util/./logging/Journal.h:5,

I found this to be the wrong way to use, we should not use reinterpret_cast in constexpr function, but i know this project compiles on GCC 7+ and successfully. If i want to use GCC 9/11+, what should i do?

Thank you!

Hi,
thanks for the issue. I'll get back to you once I had a chance to look at it. Probably in the next few days or next week.
