libstdc++: Make self-move well-defined for containers [PR 85828]
The C++ LWG recently confirmed that self-move assignment should not have
undefined behaviour for standard containers (see the proposed resolution
of LWG 2839). The result should be a valid but unspecified value, just
like other times when a container is moved from.
Our std::list, std::__cxx11::basic_string and unordered containers all
have bugs which result in undefined behaviour.
For std::list the problem is that we clear the previous contents using
_M_clear() instead of clear(). This means the _M_next, _M_prev and
_M_size members are not zeroed, and so after we "update" them (with
their existing values), we are left with dangling pointers and a
non-zero size, but no elements.
For the unordered containers the problem is similar. _Hashtable first
deallocates the existing contents, then takes ownership of the pointers
from the RHS object (which has just had its contents deallocated so the
pointers are dangling).
For std::basic_string it's a little more subtle. When the string is
local (i.e. fits in the SSO buffer) we use char_traits::copy to copy the
contents from this->data() to __rhs.data(). When &__rhs == this that
copy violates the precondition that the ranges don't overlap. We only
need to check for self-move for this case where it's local, because the
only other case that can be true for self-move is that it's non-local
but the allocators compare equal. In that case the data pointer is
neither deallocated nor leaked, so the result is well-defined.
This patch also makes a small optimization for std::deque move
assignment, to use the efficient move when is_always_equal is false, but
the allocators compare equal at runtime.
Finally, we need to remove all the Debug Mode checks which abort the
program when a self-move is detected, because it's not undefined to do
that.
Before PR 85828 can be closed we should also look into fixing
std::shuffle so it doesn't do any redundant self-swaps.
