Apparently I can't spell favorite right... Internal bug number #23456.

My Favortie Bug

On: Pet Bugs?

Was having some really bizzare problems with our String class being used in a stl vector and ended up having to trace it into the RougeWave HP stl. It was in vector<_TypeT,_Allocator>::operator= (const vector<_TypeT,_Allocator>& __x)
below is the change for anyone who might have hit this or runs this setup. Hope it can help someone avoid it and all the time it wasted. Just love problems in the STL! *** are the two lines changed.

*** _C_end_of_storage = _C_finish = _C_start + __x.size();
}
else { // size() < _x.size() < capacity()
// advance this->end () first
*** _C_end_of_storage = _C_finish = _C_start + __x.size ();

Changed To:

*** _C_finish = _C_start + __x.size();
}
else { // size() < _x.size() < capacity()
// advance this->end () first

copy (__x.begin (), __x.begin () + size (), begin ());

// write past original value of this->end ()
uninitialized_copy (__x.begin () + size (), __x.end (),
begin () + size (),
_RWSTD_VALUE_ALLOC_CAST (*this));
}

*** _C_end_of_storage = _C_finish = _C_start + __x.size ();

This of course was becuase _C_end_of_storage should not have been set before the calling of size() as it would be incorrect.
