Compatibility with Newer Compilers

[sambux1]

So far I've been testing this with GCC 11 (the GCC that comes with Ubuntu 22 and its derivatives). When running it with GCC 13 or 14, I get compilation issues.

I'm starting with GCC 13 (Ubuntu 24), and I only get one error. It comes from the following block:

if (input.mColumns[i] != mColumns[i])
	throw std::runtime_error(LOCATION);

in secure-join/TableOps/Where.cpp lines 86-87. The error is that the types are different. mColumns[i] is of type ColumnInfo, but input.mColumns[i] is of type Column, which inherits from ColumnInfo.

Calling getColumnInfo() on the Column resolves this. GCC v13 works now.

The only issue with GCC 14 (Arch) that I've run into so far is not directly related to this library, but exists inside cryptoTools. It's just a missing include, but since it's not in this library, there's no code I can change here to fix it. I'll mention it in the pull request and forget about it for now.

v13 changes are merged upstream: Visa-Research#6

v14 changes are not a priority right now.
