[Bug libstdc++/108859] New: Exception thrown by std::filesystem::copy() is wrong

std::filesystem::filesystem_error::path1() and
std::filesystem::filesystem_error::path2() should contain the paths for the
most deeply-nested call, not the outermost call. It's discarding information
regarding the error that actually occurred.

#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
try {
std::filesystem::copy(std::filesystem::path{argv[1]},
  std::filesystem::path{argv[2]},
  std::filesystem::copy_options::recursive);
} catch (const std::filesystem::filesystem_error& e) {
std::cerr << e.what() << '\n' << e.path1() << '\n' << e.path2() <<
'\n';
}
}

If a file already exists, path1() should not be argv[1], but the file that
failed to copy. Same for path2().

LLVM's libcxx already applied this 1-line patchset:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/64fc3cd55d586498dd21c5b3cfaa755793913772

Can we have the same here on GCC side (I've already submitted the patch
earlier).

Releasing the mutex before the call to notify_all is an optimization. This
optimization cannot be used here. The thread waiting on the condition might
destroy the associated resources -- mutex + condition variable -- and the
notifier thread will access an destroyed variable -- the condition variable. In
fact, notify_all_at_thread_exit is meant exactly to join on detached threads,
and the waiting thread doesn't expect for the notifier thread to access any
further shared resources, making this scenario very likely to happen. The
waiting thread might awake spuriously on the release of the mutex lock. The
reorder is necessary to prevent this race.

LLVM's libcxx already fixed the issue:

Nobody is going to fix 98449. The ONE-line patchset fixing the issue was there
for YEARS. Why does it take so many years to review ONE line? It's obvious that
it'll just hang there forever. Meanwhile I have a code base affected by this
issue.

How clueless of me to miss such obvious fact. So it turns out that
notify_all_at_thread_exit() does *not* have any bugs and can be used safely? I
reverted the GCC workaround I had in my codebase. We can close the issue
already. It was dumb of me to even assume that GCC could have bugs.

bugfix

Here's a patch fixing the issue.

If you want a codebase affected by the issue, here's the code for a thread
joining detached threads through a condition variable:
https://gitlab.com/emilua/emilua/-/blob/e5706426305733af02983ecb92a08dd8a00ebf2e/src/main.ypp#L275

Once the condition is met, both resources (mutex + condition variables) are
destroyed just before the application exits. Therefore I cannot use
notify_all_at_thread_exit (there would be a race there).
