| Hello,
|
| I am using the std::set from the standard template
| library, and it seems that it is broken. I've tried
| both the MS version as well as the g++ version and I
| get the same bug in both version.
|
| As I fill the set with more and more ints, it suddenly
| seems to reset itself. Here is some sample output of
| the number of items in the set:
|
| 18317
| 30483
| 38315
| 43175
| 46061
| 47685
| 48539
| 48950
| 49125
| 49187
| 49203
| 49205
| 49205
| 18317 *** ???
| 30483
| 38315
| 43175
|
| Is this a documented bug in stl? Is there something
| I may be doing which breaks it? I am only using the
| insert and size methods of a simple std::set<int> object.

Why should the std::set be broken if in fact the above code indicates
that the std::set container is correctly storing the dataset? Or are you
suggesting that the STL should prevent iterating through a container
more than once?
Have you even a clue how many folks have developed and tested the
various STL containers over the last 2 decades? And i've yet to find any
fundamental flaw in any of these yet.
Let me put it to you this way, if i pass a container by value, then add
elements to the original container, wouldn't it be in fact undefined
behaviour if the local container was to somehow include the new data
that is being added elsewhere?
