Bug ID: 57779
Summary: vector insert fails to diagnose iterators pointing
into *this in debug mode
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.3
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: vlukas at gmx dot de
When using the libstdc++ debug mode, some invalid iterator uses are not
diagnosed, e.g. the following program compiles and runs without aborting / any
diagnostic:
------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <vector>
int main() {
std::vector<int> v(1, 1);
v.insert(v.begin(), v.begin(), v.end());
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the call to vector::insert, the range to insert points into the vector to
insert into. This violates the precondition as specified for sequence
containers. A similar precondition exists for sequence container assign members
and maybe others. It would be nice if this misusage could be diagnosed.
The matter is a bit more complicated because in a "insert(p, i, j)" call, i and
j may be arbitrary input iterators forming a range. Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------
#include <vector>
int main() {
std::vector<int> v(1, 1);
v.insert(v.begin(), v.data(), v.data() + 1);
}
------------------------------------------------------------
Here the iterators i and j are plain pointers.
The full compiler command line I used was:
-----------------------------------------------------------
c++ -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c++0x -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG
-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG_PEDANTIC -o
container_insert_iterators_into_container.debug_enhancement
container_insert_iterators_into_container.debug_enhancement.cc -g
-fstack-protector-all -pthread
---------------------------------------------------------
The output of "c++ -v" is:
----------------------------------------------------------
Using built-in specs.
