protobuf-dev issues on 3.19

[KiprasR]

Hello.

profobuf-dev fails to run properly on arm64v8/alpine:latest (i.e., 3.19 at the moment). The code works well with the previous version (3.18).

I'm adding a MWE that runs through the same build steps as my server program (which explains the excessive compiler flags).

Dockerfile:

# Use ARMv8 Alpine image
FROM arm64v8/alpine:latest AS builder

# Install all necessary packages
RUN apk update
RUN apk add --no-cache g++
RUN apk add --no-cache protobuf
RUN apk add --no-cache protobuf-dev

# Create a workding directory
ADD . /app
WORKDIR /app

# Copy source code into container
COPY . /app

# Build libraries and protobuf headers
RUN protoc --cpp_out=. example.proto

# Build web-based tester
RUN g++ -std=c++17 -Wall main.cpp example.pb.cc -o my_program -lprotobuf -ldl -Wno-psabi -O3 -static

# Use ARMv8 Alpine image
FROM arm64v8/alpine:latest AS release

ADD . /app
WORKDIR /app

COPY --from=builder /app .

# Run server
CMD ["./my_program"]

Protocol buffer:

syntax = "proto3";

message Person {
  string name = 1;
  int32 id = 2;
  string email = 3;
}

C++ main:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "example.pb.h"

int main() {
  Person person;
  person.set_name("John Doe");
  person.set_id(123);
  person.set_email("john@example.com");

  // Serialize the message to a file
  std::ofstream output("person.pb", std::ios::binary);
  person.SerializeToOstream(&output);
  output.close();

  // Deserialize the message from the file
  Person new_person;
  std::ifstream input("person.pb", std::ios::binary);
  new_person.ParseFromIstream(&input);

  // Display the deserialized message
  std::cout << "Name: " << new_person.name() << std::endl;
  std::cout << "ID: " << new_person.id() << std::endl;
  std::cout << "Email: " << new_person.email() << std::endl;

  return 0;
}

The image is built using sudo docker buildx build --platform linux/arm64/v8 -t alpine-test . --load

As mentioned earlier, everything builds just fine with arm64v8/alpine:3.18 If arm64v8/alpine:latest is used, a library linkage error is generated:

I'm getting the same cannot find -lprotobuf: No such file or directory error when building my server code as well.

Just to be clear, if we compile without all the excess flags:

RUN g++ main.cpp example.pb.cc -o my_program -lprotobuf

on v3.19 we end up with the following error:

 => ERROR [builder 10/10] RUN g++ main.cpp example.pb.cc -o my_program -lprotobuf                                                                                                                                                                                   42.3s

The image builds just fine on 3.18.
