问题
I am toying around with c++17 and plugins, and I have run into an error that I cannot get around. In the following MWE I can call a local function that takes a std::any, and everything works as expected when I try to read the contents. When I load this exact same function through a plugin (dlopen), it correctly sees the type on the any, but it cannot std::any_cast the contents.
Any help would be greatly appreciated in figuring out what is causing this error.
Here is my environment, MWE, and resulting error.

libstdc++'s any relies on the address of the same template instantiation being the same inside a program, and that means you need to take precautions if you are using dlopen:
The compiler has to emit [objects with vague linkage, like template instantiations] in any translation unit that requires their presence, and then rely on the linking and loading process to make sure that only one of them is active in the final executable. With static linking all of these symbols are resolved at link time, but with dynamic linking, further resolution occurs at load time. You have to ensure that objects within a shared library are resolved against objects in the executable and other shared libraries.
- For a program which is linked against a shared library, no additional precautions are needed.
- You cannot create a shared library with the
-Bsymbolicoption, as that prevents the resolution described above.- If you use
dlopento explicitly load code from a shared library, you must do several things. First, export global symbols from the executable by linking it with the-Eflag (you will have to specify this as-Wl,-Eif you are invoking the linker in the usual manner from the compiler driver, g++). You must also make the external symbols in the loaded library available for subsequent libraries by providing theRTLD_GLOBALflag todlopen. The symbol resolution can be immediate or lazy.
