    libstdc++: Fix use-after-free in std::format [PR119671]
    
    When formatting floating-point values to wide strings there's a case
    where we invalidate a std::wstring buffer while a std::wstring_view is
    still referring to it.
    
    libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
    
            PR libstdc++/119671
            * include/std/format (__formatter_fp::format): Do not invalidate
            __wstr unless _M_localized returns a valid string.
            * testsuite/std/format/functions/format.cc: Check wide string
            formatting of floating-point types with classic locale.
