![]() We need to be able to attach debug mode iterators to const containers, so the safe iterator constructor uses const_cast to get a modifiable pointer to the container. If the container was defined as const, that const_cast to access its members results in undefined behaviour. PR 116369 shows a case where it results in a segfault because the container is in a rodata section (which shouldn't have happened, but the undefined behaviour in the library still exists in any case). This makes the _M_iterators and _M_const_iterators data members mutable, so that it's safe to modify them even if the declared type of the container is a const type. Ideally we would not need the const_cast at all. Instead, the _M_attach member (and everything it calls) should be const-qualified. That would work fine now, because the members that it ends up modifying are mutable. Making that change would require a number of new exports from the shared library, and would require retaining the old non-const member functions (maybe as symbol aliases) for backwards compatibility. That might be worth changing at some point, but isn't done here. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR c++/116369 * include/debug/safe_base.h (_Safe_sequence_base::_M_iterators): Add mutable specifier. (_Safe_sequence_base::_M_const_iterators): Likewise. |

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The GNU Compiler Collection is free software. See the files whose names start with COPYING for copying permission. The manuals, and some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the individual source files for details. The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information as HTML and plain text. The source of this information is gcc/doc/install.texi. The installation information includes details of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs. See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it includes) for usage and porting information. An online readable version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully. Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed individually.
