[PATCH] fix singular iterator dereference in libstdc++ testcase 23_containers/list_modifiers.cc


In the testcase 23_containers/list_modifiers.cc, the function test01() contains this block of code:

  list0101.pop_back();          // list should be [2 1]
  VERIFY(list0101.size() == 2);
  VERIFY(T::dtorCount() == 1);
  VERIFY(i->id() == 1);
  VERIFY(j->id() == 1); // INVALID
  VERIFY(k->id() == 1);

Prior to the pop_back() call, the list is [2 1 3] and the iterators i and k, along with reverse_iterator j, point to the 1. However, the actual iterator that j stores (in j.current) points to the 3, which is invalidated by the pop_back() call, and therefore should not be dereferenced at the line marked INVALID. The same problem occurs again in the next block (j.current is still singular).

Note that the problem does not show up as a failure in normal test runs, presumably because the old node is still accessible in memory due to the pooling allocator.

Patch & changelog entry attached.
