            Bug ID: 109305
           Summary: Allocator copy in basic_string::operator=
           Product: gcc
           Version: 12.1.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

In basic_string& operator=(const basic_string& __str), I noticed this line:

auto __alloc = __str._M_get_allocator();

This creates a local copy of the allocator object. I doubt this is intentional,
but I could be wrong.

GCC version: 12.1.0 with the patch for 105562
