Bug ID: 81380 Summary: basic_stringbuf::seekoff doesn't fail when trying to reposition a null sequence Product: gcc Version: 8.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: redi at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- #include <sstream> #include <cassert> int main() { std::stringbuf sb("foo", std::ios::in); assert(sb.pubseekoff(1, std::ios::beg) == -1); assert(sb.pubseekpos(1) == -1); } The second assertion should be equivalent to the first ([stringbuf.virtuals] p13) but it fails: seekpos: seekpos.cc:8: int main(): Assertion `sb.pubseekpos(1) == -1' failed. Aborted (core dumped)
