Thanks. I did end up getting a chance to look at it earlier today, and
with the following patch I had no regressions when applying the frontend
changes. Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

-- >8 --

This patch ensures that the union members for std::string and
std::variant are always properly set when a change occurs.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/bits/basic_string.h: (basic_string(basic_string&&)):
	Activate _M_local_buf when needed.
	(basic_string(basic_string&&, const _Alloc&)): Likewise.
	* include/bits/basic_string.tcc: (basic_string::swap): Likewise.
	* include/std/variant: (__detail::__variant::__construct_n): New.
	(__detail::_variant::__emplace): Use __construct_n.

Nice, thanks! This looks good at first glance, I'll review it properly ASAP.

Lets add a cast to void to make it clear we're intentionally
discarding the return value here, and only calling it for its
constexpr "side effects":

    (void) _M_use_local_data();

I think we should call _M_use_local_data() before calling
traits_type::copy, as you did for
basic_string(basic_string&& __str, const _Alloc& __a)
above.

The problem is that _M_use_local_data() returns the allocator's
pointer type, but traits_type::copy expects char_type*, and those
might not be the same type.
So:

Same here, for __s._M_use_local_data()

This is nice, thanks for optimizing it to reduce the recursion depth.

Thanks for the comments, here's an updated version of the patch.
Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

I'll note that there are some existing calls to `_M_use_local_data()`
already used only for their side effects without a cast to void, e.g.

      /**
       *  @brief  Default constructor creates an empty string.
       */
      _GLIBCXX20_CONSTEXPR
      basic_string()
      _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT_IF(is_nothrow_default_constructible<_Alloc>::value)
      : _M_dataplus(_M_local_data())
      {
	_M_use_local_data();
	_M_set_length(0);
      }

I haven't updated these, but should this be changed for consistency?

This patch ensures that the union members for std::string and
std::variant are always properly set when a change occurs.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/bits/basic_string.h: (basic_string(basic_string&&)):
	Activate _M_local_buf when needed.
	(basic_string(basic_string&&, const _Alloc&)): Likewise.
	* include/bits/basic_string.tcc: (basic_string::swap): Likewise.
	* include/std/variant: (__detail::__variant::__construct_n): New.
	(__detail::__variant::__emplace): Use __construct_n.

Great, I'll get this committed today - thanks!

Yes, good idea. I can do that.

Thanks again for fixing these. I think this might fix some bug reports
about clang rejecting our std::string in constant expressions, so I'll
check those.

I started to do that, and decided it made more sense to split out the
constexpr loop from _M_use_local_data() into a separate function,
_M_init_local_buf(). Then we can use that for all the places where we
don't care about the return value. That avoids the overhead of using
pointer_traits::pointer_to when we don't need the return value (which
is admittedly only going to be an issue for -O0 code, but I think it's
cleaner this way anyway).

Please see the attached patch and let me know what you think.

Your patch fixes https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110900
(so we should backport it to gcc-13 and gcc-12 too).
commit 2668979d3206ff6c039ac0165aae29377a15666c
Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwakely@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Sep 29 12:12:22 2023

    libstdc++: Split std::basic_string::_M_use_local_data into two functions
    
    This splits out the activate-the-union-member-for-constexpr logic from
    _M_use_local_data, so that it can be used separately in cases that don't
    need to use std::pointer_traits<pointer>::pointer_to to obtain the
    return value.
    
    This leaves only three uses of _M_use_local_data() which are all the
    same form:
    
      __s._M_data(_M_use_local_data());
      __s._M_set_length(0);
    
    We could remove _M_use_local_data() and change those three places to use
    a new _M_reset() function that does:
    
      _M_init_local_buf();
      _M_data(_M_local_data());
      _M_set_length(0);
    
    This is left for a future change.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * include/bits/basic_string.h (_M_init_local_buf()): New
            function.
            (_M_use_local_data()): Use _M_init_local_buf.
            (basic_string(), basic_string(const Alloc&))
            (basic_string(basic_string&&))
            (basic_string(basic_string&&, const Alloc&)): Use
            _M_init_local_buf instead of _M_use_local_data().
            * include/bits/basic_string.tcc (swap(basic_string&))
            (_M_construct(InIter, InIter, forward_iterator_tag))
            (_M_construct(size_type, CharT), reserve()): Likewise.
            (_M_construct(InIter, InIter, input_iterator_tag)): Remove call
            to _M_use_local_data() and initialize the local buffer directly.

I agree, and it also looks clearer to me what is happening.

What's the difference between __cpp_lib_is_constant_evaluated and
__glibcxx_is_constant_evaluated? Should these lines be using the same
macro here?

I wonder if maybe this should still be a call to `_M_init_local_buf()`
above, where the `_M_use_local_data()` used to be? That way the logic
stays in one place, and I don't imagine the compile time savings of not
immediately overwriting the first __len characters would be significant.

But looks good to me; I tried applying this on top of my frontend patch
and it looks like everything still works correctly.

Good, I'll make this change next week then.

Ah, yeah, they could be the same.

The difference is that (for most feature test macros) the
__glibcxx_ftm form is defined after including <bits/version.h>, but
the __cpp_lib_ftm form is only defined only by headers that do:

#define __glibcxx_want_ftm
#include <bits/version.h>

This means we can ensure that the __cpp_lib_ftm form is only defined
by headers where we actually want to define it, e.g. in the headers
that [version.syn] in the standard says should define the macro. So
for our own internal uses, we should generally rely on the
__glibcxx_ftm one. Users should rely on __cpp_lib_ftm after including
the correct header. For example, __glibcxx_atomic_wait is defined
after including <bits/atomic_wait.h> and so is available for our own
uses, but __cpp_lib_atomic_wait is only defined after including
<atomic>, not just <bits/atomic_wait.h>. Or at least, that's the plan
- I have a pending patch to make everything I just said true :-)
Currently we "leak" the __cpp_lib_ftm forms into lots of <bits/xxx.h>
internal headers. That will change next week.

In this specific case, it doesn't matter, because
__cpp_lib_is_constant_evaluated is defined by <type_traits>, and every
header includes that. So it doesn't really matter whether our internal
uses are __cpp_lib_is_constant_evaluated or
__glibcxx_is_constant_evaluated. But it would be good to be
consistent.

Yeah, I went back and forth on that, but you're probably right. I'll
do as you suggested.

Here's what I've pushed to trunk after testing on x86_64-linux.

Thanks again for the fixes.
commit 405a4140fc30bce86b1ec885a98bb17704e0c8c6
Author: Jonathan Wakely <jwakely@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Sep 29 12:12:22 2023

    libstdc++: Split std::basic_string::_M_use_local_data into two functions
    
    This splits out the activate-the-union-member-for-constexpr logic from
    _M_use_local_data, so that it can be used separately in cases that don't
    need to use std::pointer_traits<pointer>::pointer_to to obtain the
    return value.
    
    This leaves only three uses of _M_use_local_data() which are all of the
    same form:
    
      __s._M_data(_M_use_local_data());
      __s._M_set_length(0);
    
    We could remove _M_use_local_data() and change those three places to use
    a new _M_reset() function that does:
    
      _M_init_local_buf();
      _M_data(_M_local_data());
      _M_set_length(0);
    
    This is left for a future change.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            * include/bits/basic_string.h (_M_init_local_buf()): New
            function.
            (_M_use_local_data()): Use _M_init_local_buf.
            (basic_string(), basic_string(const Alloc&))
            (basic_string(basic_string&&))
            (basic_string(basic_string&&, const Alloc&)): Use
            _M_init_local_buf instead of _M_use_local_data().
            * include/bits/basic_string.tcc (swap(basic_string&))
            (_M_construct(InIter, InIter, input_iterator_tag))
            (_M_construct(InIter, InIter, forward_iterator_tag))
            (_M_construct(size_type, CharT), reserve()): Likewise.
