commit 5e3f88838994b67580594c4679c839fff7cdeba0 Author: Jonathan Wakely Date: Thu Oct 14 13:20:57 2021 libstdc++: Fix brainwrong in path::_S_convert(T) [PR102743] This function was supposed to check whether the parameter's value type is the same as path::value_type, and therefore needs no conversion. Instead it checks whether the parameter is the same as its own value type, which is never true. This means we incorrectly return a string view for the case where T is path::string_type, instead of just returning the string itself. The only place that happens is path::_S_convert_loc for Windows, where we call _S_convert with a std::wstring rvalue. This fixes the condition in _S_convert(T). libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/102743 * include/bits/fs_path.h (path::_S_convert(T)): Fix condition for returning the same string unchanged. diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/fs_path.h b/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/fs_path.h index c51bfa3095a..a63e4b9ab07 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/fs_path.h +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/fs_path.h @@ -625,7 +625,7 @@ namespace __detail static auto _S_convert(_Tp __str) { - if constexpr (is_same_v<_Tp, typename _Tp::value_type>) + if constexpr (is_same_v) return __str; // No conversion needed. #if !defined _GLIBCXX_FILESYSTEM_IS_WINDOWS && defined _GLIBCXX_USE_CHAR8_T else if constexpr (is_same_v<_Tp, std::u8string>)
