drogon with BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON does not link on versions 1.9.7 & 1.9.8 (possibly also 1.9.6)

Looks like an issue with the async_stream example:

Am I missing something?

[fantasy-peak]

Are there other versions of drogon on your system?

[eniv]

No, I just checked. Or to be more accurate, not installed. There is a very old one in a local trash folder. I'm pretty sure the examples are linked against the version of libdrogon being built.

[fantasy-peak]

Maybe you could empty the build directory and rebuild

[eniv]

Thanks for the suggestion. I've already tried that. In order to prove to myself that I'm linking against the correct version of libdrogon, I checked the dependencies of a different example which did not fail linking. As you can see in the screenshot below, it links against libdrogon1.9.8:

Also, I should have noted that earlier. I'm using g++12.3

Looks like DROGON_EXPORT is missing in RequestStream.h for the RequestStreamReader class. Once I add it, the linker is satisfied

It's very strange，I can compile by using gcc13.1 14.2.

[eniv]

Something must have changed after 12.3 with the visibility attribute.

[hwc0919]

It's strange. I'm using gcc 11.1 and it works fine.

maybe only gcc12.not work

[hwc0919]

Maybe it's because the shared lib. I'm using static lib. But shared lib linkage is also tested in ci.
