#11740: string_ref not working correctly with rvalue of std::string
--------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter: steweg@… | Owner: no-maintainer
     Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: | Component: utility
  Version: Boost 1.59.0 | Severity: Problem
 Keywords: string_ref |
--------------------------+---------------------------
 This is currently allowed:
 boost::string_ref something;
 something = "temp"; // works ok
 something = std::string("temp"); //doesn't work corretly

 while it should not be a should only be:
 boost::string_ref something;
 something = "temp"; // works ok
 std::string tempStr("temp");
 something = tempStr; // works ok

 Current version is pointing to buffer that is no longer part of any
 std::string, therefore if you use something like valgrind it will trigger
 and error.

 Attached is a simple patch that prevent this.
