Fix gcc-12 compilation error (#312)

* Fix gcc 12 compiling error

* add test for gcc-12

* replace array with vector

this is to avoid breaking the API down the line

* pin down ubuntu base images 

these do get updated with with under active development and there are changes which could affect us

* skip gtest + set cxx_std to 20
