#2898: iterator_range field removal when NDEBUG defined
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: ethan.howe_at_[hidden] | Owner: nesotto
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: Boost 1.39.0 | Component: range
Version: Boost 1.36.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: |
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
The iterator_range header defines the singular field as follows (in
1.36.0):
{{{
#ifndef NDEBUG
bool singular;
#endif
}}}
This is not recommended C++ style because a difference in a compiler flag
between libraries and executables both including this header can cause
hard to diagnose runtime faults. I was using a library that was created
without NDEBUG and when I compiled my executable with NDEBUG, I saw an
illegal instruction abort meaning that my program execution had been
corrupted.
I would like to request that this (and any other) object field, and so the
object size, be made independent of compiler flags by removing the #ifndef
above.
Thanks,[[BR]]
