[PR] fix: include in sstream_workaround.h to fix C++17 build (brpc)
Felix-Gong opened a new pull request, #3346:
URL: https://github.com/apache/brpc/pull/3346
## Summary
- Fix `std::any` redeclaration error when building tests with C++17 and `-Dprivate=public`
- The existing `sstream_workaround.h` already handles the same issue for `<sstream>`, but does not protect `<any>`
Fixes #3345
## Test plan
- Verified on x86 (GCC 13.3) and RISC-V (GCC 15.1) that the error reproduces with C++17 + `-Dprivate=public`
- Verified the fix resolves the issue on both platforms
- C++11/14 are unaffected (no `std::any`)

Good point! `-fno-access-control` is indeed a cleaner approach than `#define private public`. It avoids the redeclaration issues with standard library headers entirely.
I'll update the PR to:
1. Replace `-Dprivate=public` with `-fno-access-control` in CMake build flags
2. Simplify `sstream_workaround.h` (the `#ifdef private` guard becomes unnecessary)
The Bazel build already uses `-fno-access-control` at [test/BUILD.bazel:26](https://github.com/apache/brpc/blob/172589604ffbb5c970b9bcd3c1df0441a9614dd6/test/BUILD.bazel#L26), so this makes CMake consistent with Bazel.

Review Comment:
The PR title/description says the fix is to protect <any> via sstream_workaround.h, but the actual change removes -Dprivate=public/-include and switches tests to -fno-access-control instead. Please update the PR title/description (and/or issue explanation) to match the implemented approach so reviewers/users understand the behavioral change in test build flags.

Review Comment:
Removing the global -include of sstream_workaround.h can make the build depend on transitive inclusion of <sstream> (some test sources use std::stringstream without including <sstream>). Consider keeping the forced include (or updating those sources) to avoid brittle builds.

Review Comment:
Removing the forced include of sstream_workaround.h means test sources that use std::stringstream without including <sstream> now rely on transitive includes (e.g., from gtest). To keep the test build robust, either re-add the forced include or add explicit <sstream> includes to the affected sources.

Review Comment:
sstream_workaround.h is now empty, but test build configurations may still force-include it. Including <sstream> here (and <any> when building as C++17+) avoids relying on transitive includes and matches the PR's stated goal of shielding <any> in C++17 builds.

Updated PR title and description to match the actual implementation.
Regarding the transitive include concern: gtest's `gtest-printers.h` includes `<sstream>`, and all test files include `<gtest/gtest.h>`, so `std::stringstream` is available transitively. The local x86 tests (72/75 passed) confirm this works correctly.
