Boost.DLL now uses std::shared_ptr. Quoting release notes
https://www.boost.org/releases/1.88.0/ :

> boost::dll:import_* functions now return std::shared_ptr rather than
boost::shared_ptr. Define BOOST_DLL_USE_BOOST_SHARED_PTR to restore the old
behavior, however note that the macro will be removed in one of the
upcomming Boost releases.

So for the above case I'd recommend to use `auto` or switch to
std::shared_ptr.
