From: Kefu Chai <kefu.c...@scylladb.com>

in _Grapheme_cluster_view::_Iterator, we implement its post-increment
operator (a++) using its pre-increment opereator (++a). but we use

++this

to call the pre-increment opereator in the implementation of the
post-increment operator. one cannot assign to `this`. both GCC and Clang
error out when compiling this piece of code. like:

<source>:7:9: error: expression is not assignable
    7 |         ++this;
      |         ^ ~~~~

and

<source>:7:11: error: increment of read-only location '(Foo*)this'
    7 |         ++this;
      |           ^~~~
<source>:7:11: error: lvalue required as increment operand

to address this issue, we use ++(*this) instead. please note, we don't
use the post-increment operator of _Grapheme_cluster_view::_Iterator
in libstdc++ yet. and _Grapheme_cluster_view::_Iterator is not a part
of the public interface exposed by the std::format. this class is used
to estimate the width of formatted text, so this piece of code is not
tested by existing test cases at this moment. the build failure surfaced
when building our C++20 project with the libstdc++ shippped by GCC-14
and with Clang-19 (881f20e9), which, according to its release notes:

  Clang now performs semantic analysis for unary operators with dependent
  operands that are known to be of non-class non-enumeration type prior
  to instantiation.

I guess that's why this issue was not identified until now.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

        * include/bits/unicode.h (enable_borrowed_range): Call ++(*this)
        instead of ++this
