It's not at all clear to me what we can possibly do in the general case of discontiguous containers. Certainly, we don't want Segmentation faults or bus errors, but that is a largely unrelated issue (I suggest filing a separate PR), which, I bet, in general has to do mostly with proper arithmetic in each individual container. As a matter of fact, the problem with deque is an arithmetic overflow in _M_new_elements_at_front. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29134
