Bug ID: 99752 Summary: ranges::find_end should return empty subrange when search range is empty Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: hewillk at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- In ranges::find_end implementation: 674 else 675 { 676 auto __i = ranges::next(__first1, __last1); 677 if (__first2 == __last2) 678 return {__i, __i}; when the examined range is not bidirectional_range and the search range is empty, we still do the ranges::next call, this makes the following code infinite loop: #include <algorithm> #include <ranges> int main() { auto r = std::views::iota(0); std::ranges::empty_view<int> e; std::ranges::find_end(r, e); } But according to the [alg.find.end]: "i be last1 if [first2, last2) is empty", so I think this is a library bug since in such case ranges::find_end never return. Same situations in ranges::rotate with performance loss in more rare conditions: 1573 { 1574 auto __lasti = ranges::next(__first, __last); 1575 if (__first == __middle) 1576 return {__lasti, __lasti}; 1577 if (__last == __middle) 1578 return {std::move(__first), std::move(__lasti)};
