Bug ID: 109333 Summary: Use std::move in std::accumulate etc. for std::string for C++11/14/17 Product: gcc Version: 13.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: missed-optimization Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2017/p0616r0.pdf changed some <numeric> algos to use std::move for the accumulator, which is an observable semantic change. For that reason, we only implement the change for C++20 and up, to retain the behaviour specified in earlier standards. If the accumulator is std::string then we know it's not observable, and so we can improve performance by always moving (except in C++98 mode).
