Fails to compile on Arch with gcc-14.2

[zhangyi1357]

What version of tRPC-Cpp are you using?

v1.2.0

What operating system and compiler are you using?

OS: Arch Linux on Windows 10 x86_64 Kernel: 5.15.133.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 Compiler: g++ (GCC) 14.2.1 20240802

What did you do?

After cloning the project just run the following command under project root directory.

mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON .. && make -j8 && cd -
mkdir -p examples/helloworld/build && cd examples/helloworld/build &&cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON .. && make -j8 && cd -

What did you expect to see?

No compilation errors.

What did you see instead?

Just show the core errors:

1. Non-compiling assignment operator related issue: https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson/issues/718. it was fixed 8 years ago, but not a new release has been published and trpc-cpp uses 8 years old rapidjson@v1.1.0 (the newest release, lmao) without the fixed.

/home/zy/learning/trpc-cpp/cmake_third_party/rapidjson/include/rapidjson/document.h: In member function ‘rapidjson::GenericStringRef<CharType>& rapidjson::GenericStringRef<CharType>::operator=(const rapidjson::GenericStringRef<CharType>&)’:

2. Wrong use of std::negation_v

How to fix

I'd like to fix above compilation problems.

For error 1, just do a patch on rapidjson like what has been done for spdlog.

For error 2, just do the following change:

When I tried to fix the issue, another problem with GoogleTest comes up.

In file included from /home/zy/learning/my-trpc-cpp/cmake_third_party/gtest/googletest/src/gtest-all.cc:42:
/home/zy/learning/my-trpc-cpp/cmake_third_party/gtest/googletest/src/gtest-death-test.cc: In function ‘bool testing::internal::StackGrowsDown()’:

 1301 |   StackLowerThanAddress(&dummy, &result);
      |   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been solved by https://github.com/google/googletest/pull/3024, we only need to update GoogleTest to use version 1.11.0 or newer.

When using cc_proto_library, bazel will use a specific version of protobuf to generate .pb.h/.pb.cc stub code.

Starting from bazel-7, we can't change version of protobuf by simply declare a com_google_protobuf bazel repository (it does work in bazel-1~bazel-6). So the stub code will be genreated using protobuf-3.21.8 and can't compatible with trpc-cpp protobuf-3.15.8 which causes compile error.

To resolve this problem, just downgrade bazel version to bazel-6.

@weimch I'm not using Bazel, I'm using CMake.

sor, thought you were the guy asking compile error in private.

Already solved by @zhangyi1357 at https://github.com/trpc-group/trpc-cpp/pull/167. Thanks for contribution.
