The == and != operators on filtered_iterator are not doing the
right thing, they compare values pointed by the wrapped iterators
instead of comparing the iterators themselves.
As a result, operator== will return true if the two iterators point to
two equal values at different positions. operator!= will fail
similarly.
Also, this causes it to deference past-the-end iterators when doing.
For example, in
for (iter = ...; iter != end_iter; ++iter)
the != comparison dereferences end_iter. I don't think this should
happen.
I don't think it's a problem today, given that we only use
filtered_iterator to wrap linked lists of threads and inferiors.
Dereferencing past-the-end iterators of these types is not fatal, it
just returns NULL, which is not a value we otherwise find in the lists.
But in other contexts, it could become problematic.
I have added a simple self test that fails without the fix applied.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* filtered-iterator.h (filtered_iterator) <operator==,
operator!=>: Compare wrapped iterators, not wrapped pointers.
* Makefile.in (SUBDIR_UNITTESTS_SRCS): Add
unittests/filtered_iterator-selftests.c.
* unittests/filtered_iterator-selftests.c: New file.
