[Bug c++/17639] New: ++ increment not working in std::string.insert

[barnarr at cc dot wwu dot edu]

I posted below the code to duplicate this bug.  I am performing a "i++" inside a
std::string.insert(...) function call and it appears that the "i" value is not
incrementing.  This has been tested on multiple versions of GCC (2.8.1, 3.3.3,
3.3.4) running on Linux, BSD, and Windows (via Cygwin).  The code does work
properly in Visual Studio .NET.  I tried different -O optimizations, including
turning them off, and the problem persisted.

Compiled this code by typing:
g++ -Wall -o main ./main.cpp

Haven't reported a bug before, so I don't know what the "host triplet, target
triplet, and build triplet" things are.

Let me know if you need any more information.  Hope this helps.
