ptr_container's Issues

UBSAN identified issues with new CI framework

Three issues found so disabling the UBSAN build job for now.

Documentation updates for PR #8

This issue is in reference to #8 which conditionally provides interfaces with auto_ptr or unique_ptr to work around auto_ptr deprecation with newer compilers.

If I understand correctly, this PR was too late for Boost 1.66 having been merged in late November, but it will be in Boost 1.67; moreover there is still time to submit documentation updates before the 1.67 release.

I noticed on the 1.67 beta snapshot documentation that auto_ptr is still uniformly referred to in documentation, with no mention of unique_ptr.

I'm opening this issue just to bring attention to this matter, but also maybe it's appropriate to have a discussion on how to treat this situation. One thought I had was that in other projects it's common practice to use a special identifier like implementation-defined in lieu of actual object types, with a documentation page explaining its meaning. Maybe auto_ptr<T> could be replaced with something like smart-pointer-type<T>, with a documentation page explaining that Boost.Config will be used to resolve this to either auto_ptr<T> or unique_ptr<T> depending on compiler standard? Maybe it would be appropriate to add this to an "Upgrading from Boost v. 1.66.*" heading, along the lines of similarly named headings on the documentation homepage.

Please merge the 'develop' branch change into 'master' for the Boost 1.75 release

The fix in the 'develop' branch is for the Embarcadero C++ clang-based compilers.

Potential footgun in `ptr_map`

There is an easy risk of creating use-after-free errors with current implementation of iterators. This simple code:

auto it = map.find(key);
const auto &data = it->second;

The problem comes from iterator::operator-> returning temporary (proxy), where second is a value, and not reference. This means that as soon as the assignment to data ends, temporary is freed and our reference points to destroyed object. This will be also true for directly doing map.find(key)->second.

A full example on godbolt with enabled address sanitizer: https://godbolt.org/z/M9h43Pdd1

This problem is dangerous, because it doesn't generate any warning even with decently aggressive flags (on clang-15, -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic). Moreover, same code for std::map works correctly.

I have no idea if this can be solved on the code level (i.e. if there is a value that could be referenced in that proxy instead of making a copy), or if only solution is just making sure documentation warns about this.

ptr_vector::c_array is not compiling when boost::nullable is used in ptr_vector.

Hi,

using c_array is not possible if boost::ptr_vector<boost::nullable>.
Compile error is that "can not convert boost::nullable** to int**."

Errors with boost(1.70.0) in using ptr_vector

I am moving from Boost 1.65.1 to 1.70.0. My project has the usage of "ptr_vector" in function parameter.
The build is failing in 1.70.0. I have written a program that demonstrates the problem in using "ptr_vector" in function parameter.

Command used for compiling:
g++ -std=c++14 ptr_vector_test.cpp -Iboost_1_70_0

Test Program:

#include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp>
namespace A
{
    template<class T>
    class Foo
    {
        public:
        static void test(boost::ptr_vector<Foo<T>>& t){
            return;
        }
    };
    template<class T>
    using test = boost::ptr_vector<Foo<T>>;
}

int main()
{

    A::test<double> ptr;
    return 0;
}

Error (On Linux : gcc 6.3.0)
