“unknown type name 'decltype'”: Installing pyicu on mac failed, with gcc error

Question

I ran the following command (because I have both python2 and python3 on my mac):

$ CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/icu4c/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib sudo python3 -m pip install pyicu

The error information is as below:

根据@nm，需要将-std=c++11添加到CFLAGS。
