Simply checking the strong counter isn't sufficient,\nbecause if multiple threads are involved then we'd have a race / TOCTOU\nproblem; the object may get destroyed after we check the strong counter\nand before we cast the pointer.\n\nHowever lock() is not necessary if we know that Base is *not* a virtual\nbase class of Derived; in this case we can avoid the relatively\nexpensive call to lock() and just cast the pointer. This commit uses\nthe newly added builtin to detect this case and optimize std::weak_ptr's\nconverting constructors and assignment operations.\n\n```\nlibstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:\n\n\t* include/bits/shared_ptr_base.h (__weak_ptr): Avoid calling\n\tlock() when converting or assigning a weak_ptr<Derived> to\n\ta weak_ptr<Base> in case Base is not a virtual base of Derived.\n\tThis logic is centralized in _S_safe_upcast, called by the\n\tvarious converting constructors/assignment operators.\n\t(_S_safe_upcast): New helper function.\n\t* testsuite/20_util/weak_ptr/cons/virtual_bases.cc: New test.\n```\n\n\nChanged files:\n- A: libstdc++-v3/testsuite/20_util/weak_ptr/cons/virtual_bases.cc\n- M: libstdc++-v3/include/bits/shared_ptr_base.h\n\n\nGiuseppe D'Angelo (1):\n  libstdc++: optimize weak_ptr converting constructor/assignment\n\n libstdc++-v3/include/bits/shared_ptr_base.h   | 52 ++++++++++--\n .../20_util/weak_ptr/cons/virtual_bases.cc    | 80 +++++++++++++++++++\n 2 files changed, 125 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 libstdc++-v3/testsuite/20_util/weak_ptr/cons/virtual_bases.cc"
