   libstdc++: [_GLIBCXX_DEBUG] Improve COW basic_string checks

    Put the __glibcxx_requires_valid_range checks at public member level
    so that diagnostics are giving directly the invoked member name.

    Add the std::_RequireInputIter constraints on members taking template
    iterator range to avoid the "do the right thing" ambiguity without the help of __is_integer.

    libstdc++v3/ChangeLog:

            * include/bits/cow_string.h
            (basic_string::_M_replace): New.
            (basic_string(_InputIterator, _InputIterator, const _Alloc&): Add             std::_RequireInputIter constraint and __glibcxx_requires_valid_constructor_range

Please fix the line-wrapping here. Try to keep the lines to < 72
characters so that when indented by 'git log' they fit below 80.

            check.
            (basic_string::append(_InputIte, _InputIte): Add std::_RequireInputIter             constraint and __glibcxx_requires_valid_range check. Call _M_replace.
            (basic_string::assign(_InputIte, _InputIte): Likewise.
            (basic_string::insert(iterator, _InputIte, _InputIte)): Likewise.             (basic_string::replace(iterator, iterator, _InputIte, _InputIte)): Likewise.
            [__cplusplus >= 201103L](basic_string::_S_construct): New.
            (basic_string::_M_replace_dispatch(iterator, iterator, _InputIte, _InputIte,
            __false_type)): Remove __glibcxx_requires_valid_range check.
            * include/debug/debug.h (__glibcxx_requires_valid_constructor_range): New.

Tested under Linux x86_64 with _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 and _GLIBCXX_DEBUG.

Did you test C++98 as well as the default -std modes?

Doesn't this require new symbols to be exported by the linker script?


Note that there is a double requires-valid-range check when _M_replace is being called because of the temporary basic_string instantiation.

Ok to commit ?

I was worried that this would break for some of the calls to
_S_construct(size_type, _CharT, const _Alloc&), but I think even in
the case where size_type and _CharT are the same it will be OK. For
C++11 and later, we either call _S_construct with a pair of iterators,
or with exactly size_type and _CharT, never with two arbitrary
integers of other types.
