#include <string>

typedef struct a_bc
{
    std::string a;
    std::string b;
} a_t;

void f()
{
    a_t c;

    c.a = " sdfsdf fsdfsdf fdfsfdsdf ";   // seems to need this long string to reproduce, down to 8 bytes it didn't
    c.b = "E";
}

Here is a verbatim copy of the the sample code, in which the OP encountered build error(s) with gcc 12.2.x

warm regards
Saifi.
