      Currently when we do a self-move assignment or a self-swap with std::swap, our code will fail in debug mode.
      For example: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/BF-26598

      There is a detailed discussion about this assertion on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22915325/avoiding-self-assignment-in-stdshuffle

      We should research a possibility to disable it with `__glibcxx_check_self_move_assign`.
