refactor: Use immediate lambda to work around GCC bug 117966 #31493

1. 
   maflcko commented at 2:46 pm on December 13, 2024: member

   Currently the libstdc++ debug mode can only be used with version 11, or 15 (and later), due to https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117966

   This seems restrictive.

   Add a temporary workaround for now, which makes the global (temporary) std::span local to a lambda.

   Nice hack. Could use consteval on the lambda to enforce compile-time

   I left it out to let the compiler decide whether to use it or not, just like before.

   Though, pushed consteval now, thx!

    nit: GCC-12 and GCC-13 seem also affected.

    The code is intentional, to only mention the last version of gcc where the workaround is needed. I don’t see the value to mention more than that.
