------- Additional Comments From chris at bubblescope dot net 2005-08-30 20:16 ------- Just so we are 100% clear on what is occuring (I realise it might not be obvious from my message)
M.rbegin() returns an iterator i = std::reverse_iterator(M.end()); *i therefore returns *--(M.end()), which at first is the same as M.begin(). After we stick some more stuff into the container, then *i (which is still equal *--(M.end())) becomes something different, as more stuff has been pushed into the container. This is exactly what the standard requires we do, it's just unfortunatly that reverse_iterator is a little fragile in the presence of changing containers. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23633
