Hi

    I abandon the idea of providing Debug algos, it would be too much code to add and maintain. However I haven't quit on reducing Debug mode performance impact.

    So this patch make use of the existing std::__niter_base to get rid of the debug layer around __gnu_debug::vector<>::iterator so that __builtin_memmove replacement can take place.

    As _Safe_iterator<> do not have a constructor taking a pointer I change algos implementation so that we do not try to instantiate the iterator type ourselves but rather rely on its operators + or -.

    The small drawback is that for std::equal algo where we can't use the __glibcxx_can_increment we need to keep the debug layer to make sure we don't reach past-the-end iterator. So I had to remove usage of __niter_base when in Debug mode, doing so it also disable potential usage of __builtin_memcmp when calling std::equal on std::__cxx1998::vector<> iterators. A rather rare situation I think.

We don't need to give up all checks in std::equal, we can do this:

      return std::__equal_aux(std::__niter_base(__first1),
                             std::__niter_base(__last1),
                             std::__niter_base(__first2));

We don't give up any check. We only give up on using the __builtin_memcmp when std::equal is being used while Debug mode is active and std::equal is called directly with std::__cxx1998::vector.

Moreover this check is wrong and will introduce regression when running testsuite in Debug mode (this is why I know). It will assert in the following case:
vector<int> v1 { 0, 0, 0 };
vector<int> v2 { 0, 1 };
equal(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin());




    Note that I don't know how to test that __builtin_memmove has been indeed used. So I've been through some debug sessions to check that.

The attached patch (not fully tested) seems to be a much simpler way
to achieve the same thing. Instead of modifying all the helper
structs, just define a new function to re-wrap the result into the
desired iterator type.

Why is this overload only defined for C++11 and later? I defined it
unconditionally in the attached patch.

What do you think?

Here's a complete patch that passes all tests in normal mode and
causes no regressions in debug mode (we already have some debug test
failing).

I wondered whether we need another overload of __wrap_iter for
handling move_iterator, but I think the first overload works OK.


I don't think we need it neither. Algos that handle move iterator are already doing it.
