By default, libstdc++ is built with efficiency in mind, and
therefore performs little or no error checking that is not
required by the C++ standard. This means that programs that
incorrectly use the C++ standard library will exhibit behavior
that is not portable and may not even be predictable, because they
tread into implementation-specific or undefined behavior. To
detect some of these errors before they can become problematic,
libstdc++ offers a debug mode that provides additional checking of
library facilities, and will report errors in the use of libstdc++
as soon as they can be detected by emitting a description of the
problem to standard error and aborting the program. This debug
mode is available with GCC 3.4.0 and later versions.
</p><p>
The libstdc++ debug mode performs checking for many areas of the
C++ standard, but the focus is on checking interactions among
standard iterators, containers, and algorithms, including:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Safe iterators</em></span>: Iterators keep track of the
container whose elements they reference, so errors such as
incrementing a past-the-end iterator or dereferencing an iterator
that points to a container that has been destructed are diagnosed
immediately.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Algorithm preconditions</em></span>: Algorithms attempt to
validate their input parameters to detect errors as early as
possible. For instance, the <code class="code">set_intersection</code>
algorithm requires that its iterator
parameters <code class="code">first1</code> and <code class="code">last1</code> form a valid
iterator range, and that the sequence
[<code class="code">first1</code>, <code class="code">last1</code>) is sorted according to
the same predicate that was passed
to <code class="code">set_intersection</code>; the libstdc++ debug mode will
detect an error if the sequence is not sorted or was sorted by a
different predicate.</p></li></ul></div></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ext_compile_checks.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="extensions.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="debug_mode_semantics.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 16. Compile Time Checks </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Semantics</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
