When creating a path from a pair of non-contiguous iterators we pass the iterators to _S_convert(Iter, Iter). That function passes the iterators to __string_from_range to get a contiguous sequence of characters, and then calls _S_convert(const C*, const C*) to perform the encoding conversions. If the value type, C, is char8_t, then no conversion is needed and the _S_convert(const char8_t*, const char8_t*) specialization casts the pointer to const char* and returns a std::string_view that refs to the char8_t sequence. However, that sequence is owned by the std::u8string rvalue returned by __string_from_range, which goes out of scope when _S_convert(Iter, Iter) returns. That means the std::string_view is dangling and we get undefined behaviour when parsing it as a path. The same problem does not exist for the path members taking a "Source" argument, because those functions all convert a non-contiguous range into a basic_string immediately, using __effective_range(__source). That means that the rvalue string returned by that function is still in scope for the full expression, so the string_view does not dangle. The solution for the buggy functions is to do the same thing, and call __string_from_range immediately, so that the returned rvalue is still in scope for the lifetime of the string_view returned by _S_convert. To avoid reintroducing the same problem, remove the _S_convert(Iter, Iter) overload that calls __string_from_range and returns a dangling view. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/102592 * include/bits/fs_path.h (path::path(Iter, Iter, format)) (path::append(Iter, Iter), path::concat(Iter, Iter)): Call __string_from_range directly, instead of two-argument overload of _S_convert. (path::_S_convert(Iter, Iter)): Remove. * testsuite/27_io/filesystem/path/construct/102592.C: New test. Tested powerpc64le-linux. Committed to trunk.
