Bug ID: 118455
Summary: The program crashes when synchronization with C-i/o is
enabled; does not crash when it is disabled.
Product: gcc
Version: 11.4.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: lluis.alemany.puig at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---

The program
I would like to report a possible bug, in a program that purposefully tries to
access an out-of-bounds memory position in a std::vector.
I know that accessing in such a position is UB, and so there is no guarantee
concerning the behaviour of the program. Here I want to report that the program
crashes only when synchronization between C and C++ i/o standard streams is
disabled.
GCC info at the end. The program is attached as a preprocessed file (main.ii)
and the Makefile is
```
all: nosync sync
nosync: main.cpp
g++ -DNOSYNC main.cpp -o nosync
sync: main.cpp
g++ main.cpp -o sync
```
In a terminal, run `make`, and then run
```
$ ./sync # crashes
$ ./nosync # does not crash
```
The program crashes with the following error message:
```
sync: malloc.c:2617: sysmalloc: Assertion `(old_top == initial_top (av) &&
old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse
(old_top) && ((unsigned long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
```
The program (as a plain .cpp file, i.e., not as a preprocessed file) is:
```
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main() {
#if defined NOSYNC
std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
#endif
// this vector is not large enough to cause the crash
// vector<int> v{1,2,3,4,5,6,2,3,4};
vector<int> v{1,2,3,4,5,6,2,3,4,5};
vector<int> r(v.size(), 0);
for (int i = 0; i <= v.size(); ++i) {
r[i] = v[i];
}
for (int i = 0; i < r.size(); ++i) {
cout << r[i] << ' ';
}
cout << '\n';
}
```

Using built-in specs.
