Re: _FORTIFY_SOURCE for std::vector


Hi,

I've seen the variable, but I don't understand how to use it. I would like to add something about it to the testing documentation.
Just copy what *all* the other testcase in the library testsuite have, just define it, with attribute unused. If you are curious why, just look inside testsuite_hooks.h
3- We definitely need a comment explaining *who* provided _M_range_check

Sorry, I don't understand this suggestion.
You are right, sorry, I went through your changes too quickly and didn't realize that you are just using the existing _M_range_check. Anyway, I confirm that probably we want something more consistent with debug-mode, thus not throwing in this case. Maybe just a __builtin_abort(), I don't know. Or adjust the code in c++config to make available a non-trivial __glibcxx_assert also when _FORTIFY_SOURCE > 0.

4- Maybe I'm misremembering, sorry in case, but Isn't:

#if defined _FORTIFY_SOURCE && _FORTIFY_SOURCE > 0

the same as:

#if _FORTIFY_SOURCE > 0

?

I think you're right, but I'm just copying literally what GNU libc is doing. I can change it to the shorter version if you want me to.
I think we should yes.

Paolo.
