libstdc++: Add #pragma to slience null-dereference warning in istreambuf_iterator::operator++ [PR105580]
The warning was produced by following sequence, given an istream_iterator<char>
it, such that *it will result in hitting EoF in it->_M_get(), and thus clearing
_M_sbuf, the subsequent call to ++it, will result in _M_sbuf->sbumpc() call on
null pointer. This is however an false-positive, as in such situation
it == istream_iteator() returns true, and the iterator should not be
incremented in first place.
This patch sliences the issue, by disabling the "-Wnull-dereference" using
GCC diagnostic pragmas. To work correctly the pragmas needs to be placed around
streambuf functions on which the issue originating from istreambuf_iterator are
reported.
PR libstdc++/105580
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
* include/std/streambuf (streambuf::gptr, streambuf::egptr)
(streambuf::gbump): Surround with pragma disabling -Wnull-dereference.
* testsuite/24_iterators/istreambuf_iterator/105580.cc: Remove check for
warning being emitted.
