Bug ID: 100153 Summary: Undefined behavior in stl_bvector.h Product: gcc Version: 12.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: hewillk at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- stl_bvector.h#L505: _Bit_type* _M_end_addr() const _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT { if (this->_M_end_of_storage) return std::__addressof(this->_M_end_of_storage[-1]) + 1; return 0; } This one will cause UB if _M_end_of_storage is not nullptr and _M_end_of_storage is equal to _M_start._M_p. Consider (https://godbolt.org/z/vvrG6KcWP): std::vector<bool> bv{true, false, true}; bv.clear(); bv.shrink_to_fit(); bv.capacity(); When shrink_to_fit() ends, _M_end_of_storage will be equal to _M_start._M_p and not nullptr. In capacity(): size_type capacity() const _GLIBCXX_NOEXCEPT { return size_type(const_iterator(this->_M_impl._M_end_addr(), 0) - begin()); } we will call _M_end_addr() and perform illegal dereference which cause UB, same with push_back(), insert() and flip().
