This is not a compiler bug, but a bug in the STL iterator class.
The less-than-operator does not work properly.
The following program can reproduce the bug.
# include <iostream>
# include <vector>
using namespace std;
main() {
vector<int> v;
vector<int>::iterator i = v.begin();
--i;
cout << ( i - v.begin() ) << endl; // output: -1
cout << ( i < v.begin() ) << endl; // output: 0 !!! SHOULD BE 1 !!!
cout << ( i - v.begin() < 0) << endl; // output: 1 this one is correct
}
