<locale>: Cannot run in Release mode and throw unhandled exception: std::runtime_error - UTF8 to GBK

[fsb4000]

Command-line test case

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    auto func = [](const string& src) -> string
    {
        const auto srcCode = ".65001", dstCode = ".936";
        const size_t& _max_char_count = 3;
        std::wstring wsz;
        std::string csz;
        const size_t& wmax_length = src.length() + 1;
        wchar_t* wtmp = new wchar_t[wmax_length];
        const std::locale& prev = std::locale::global(std::locale(srcCode));
        const std::size_t& wret = std::mbstowcs(wtmp, src.c_str(), wmax_length);
        wsz = std::wstring(wtmp, wret);
        delete[]wtmp;

        const size_t& cmax_length = wsz.length() * _max_char_count + 1;
        char* ctmp = new char[cmax_length];
        std::locale::global(std::locale(dstCode));
        const std::size_t& cret = std::wcstombs(ctmp, wsz.c_str(), cmax_length);
        csz = std::string(ctmp, cret);
        delete[]ctmp;
        std::locale::global(prev);
        return csz;
    };
    std::system("chcp 936 >NUL");
    cout << func(u8"你好") << endl;

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Expected behavior
Should print to console the two characters above.

Actually it works on Windows 10 Pro 20.04 (tested X64 Release, X86 Release, X64 Debug, X86 Debug with chcp 936 and without chcp 936)

And I have the error on Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium(also with and without chcp 936)
(error message: "invalid code page specified", same message as standalone command "chcp 936" )

STL version
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.6.4

I add catch(const std::exception& e) and at Windows 7 I have exception: "bad locale name".

Maybe it's ok.

This may be by design, related to OS support for UTF-8. Thanks for porting this bug from DevCom!
