2021-04-29[libc++] Fixes std::to_chars for bases != 10.Mark de Wever1-0/+58
While working on D70631, Microsoft's unit tests discovered an issue. Our `std::to_chars` implementation for bases != 10 uses the range `[first,last)` as temporary buffer. This violates the contract for to_chars: [charconv.to.chars]/1 http://eel.is/c++draft/charconv#to.chars-1 `to_chars_result to_chars(char* first, char* last, see below value, int base = 10);` "If the member ec of the return value is such that the value is equal to the value of a value-initialized errc, the conversion was successful and the member ptr is the one-past-the-end pointer of the characters written." Our implementation modifies the range `[member ptr, last)`, which causes Microsoft's test to fail. Their test verifies the buffer `[member ptr, last)` is unchanged. (The test is only done when the conversion is successful.) While looking at the code I noticed the performance for bases != 10 also is suboptimal. This is tracked in D97705. This patch fixes the issue and adds a benchmark. This benchmark will be used as baseline for D97705. Reviewed By: #libc, Quuxplusone, zoecarver Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D100722
