Bug ID: 99942 Summary: [8/9/10/11 Regression] COW std::string::data() is noexcept but can throw Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- The C++17 non-const data() was fixed for PR 86169 so that it un-shares the string if needed. However, this means it can reallocate, and so should not be marked noexcept. The right fix is probably just to remove 'noexcept', but we might also want to consider not providing that member function at all for the COW string.
