Summary: Issue with using std::shared_ptr with custom equality operator and STL (gnu++0x) Product: gcc Version: 4.5.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: comadd...@gmx.net Hi I'm not 100% sure if this is actually an issue with gcc. It might be with boost (or even more likely my understanding of c++ :) ) but from what I could gather it seems that when using std::shared_ptr together with a overloaded equality operator and a std::list the behavior of the equality operator of shared_ptr is not what it should be considering the source code. It seems that even though the equality operator of shared_ptr should compare the underlying objects the program compiled by gcc compares the memory addresses. I'm using: gcc: COLLECT_GCC=gcc COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/lto-wrapper Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu Configured with: /build/src/gcc-4.5-20110127/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,ada --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-gnu-unique-object --enable-lto --enable-plugin --enable-gold --with-plugin-ld=ld.gold --disable-multilib --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-system-zlib --with-ppl --with-cloog --with-cloog-include=/usr/include/cloog-ppl --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info Thread model: posix gcc version 4.5.2 20110127 (prerelease) (GCC) system: Linux firebird 2.6.37-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 8 08:08:06 UTC 2011 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux command line: g++ -g -O0 -std=gnu++0x test.cpp compiler output: none A sample program which shows the issue is attached as test.ii I would expect the attached sample program to finish with "Success" and not throw an exception.
