Done, like so?

Subject: [PATCH] libstdc++: Fix SFINAE with shared_ptr and invalid deleter
 [PR126120]

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, does this look OK for trunk/16?

Changes in v2:
  - Implement LWG 4110 proposed resolution, encoding the _ValidDeleter
    constraint as a function parameter instead of a template parameter.
  - Remove redundant is_move_constructible constraint in _ValidDeleter
    since the derived class's _Constructible constraint already checks
    it.

-- >8 --

This implements the [util.smartptr.shared.const] constraints on the
constructors that take a deleter (which before C++20 were requirements
rather than constraints).  In passing proactively implement the proposed
resolution of LWG 4110.

	PR libstdc++/126120

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* include/bits/shared_ptr.h
	(shared_ptr::shared_ptr(nullptr_t, ...)): Add _Constructible
	constraint to verify __shared_ptr base initialization is
	well-formed.  Add _ValidDeleter constraint.
	* include/bits/shared_ptr_base.h (_ValidDeleter): New __enable_if_t
	constraint.
	(__shared_ptr::__shared_ptr(Yp*, _Deleter, ...)): Remove
	static_assert checking deleter invocability.  Add _ValidDeleter
	constraint.
	* testsuite/20_util/shared_ptr/cons/126120.cc: New test.
