Hi, I have a program which produces different results based on the compiler options. The program uses a boost::any_range containing a transformed range where the transformation function just returns a new object of a simple struct: #include <vector> #include <boost/range.hpp> #include <boost/range/any_range.hpp> #include <boost/range/adaptor/transformed.hpp> #include <iostream> template<typename T1, typename T2> void ASSERT_EQ(T1 x,T2 y) {assert(x == y);}; struct SourceEvent { std::uint32_t event; void* ptr; }; int main() { using boost::adaptors::transformed; using R = boost::any_range<SourceEvent, boost::forward_traversal_tag, SourceEvent, std::ptrdiff_t>; std::vector<std::int32_t> v(100); R r = v | transformed( [](auto const&) {return SourceEvent{0u, nullptr};} ); auto t = v | transformed( [](auto const&) {return SourceEvent{0u, nullptr};} ); ASSERT_EQ( 100u, boost::size(r) ); ASSERT_EQ( 100u, boost::size(t) ); for (auto const& i: t) { ASSERT_EQ(0u, i.event ); ASSERT_EQ(nullptr, i.ptr); } for (auto const& i: r) { ASSERT_EQ(0u, i.event ); ASSERT_EQ(nullptr, i.ptr); } std::cout << "OK" << std::endl; return 0; } When compiled without optimization, it just prints ok. The same source compiled with optimizations asserts, and prints some interesting warnings: In file included from /usr/local/boost-1.60.0/include/boost/range/detail/any_iterator.hpp:22:0, from /usr/local/boost-1.60.0/include/boost/range/any_range.hpp:17, from prog.cc:3: /usr/local/boost-1.60.0/include/boost/range/detail/any_iterator_wrapper.hpp: In member function 'boost::range_detail::any_forward_iterator_wrapper<WrappedIterator, Reference, Buffer>::reference boost::range_detail::any_forward_iterator_wrapper<WrappedIterator, Reference, Buffer>::dereference() const [with WrappedIterator = boost::iterators::transform_iterator<boost::range_detail::default_constructible_unary_fn_wrapper<main()::<lambda(const auto:1&)>, SourceEvent>, __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<int*, std::vector<int> >, boost::iterators::use_default, boost::iterators::use_default>; Reference = SourceEvent; Buffer = boost::any_iterator_buffer<64ul>; boost::range_detail::any_forward_iterator_wrapper<WrappedIterator, Reference, Buffer>::reference = SourceEvent&]': /usr/local/boost-1.60.0/include/boost/range/detail/any_iterator_wrapper.hpp:302:57: warning: function may return address of local variable [-Wreturn-local-addr] return dereference_cast<reference>(*m_it); ^ /usr/local/boost-1.60.0/include/boost/range/detail/any_iterator_wrapper.hpp:302:52: note: declared here return dereference_cast<reference>(*m_it); ^ prog.exe: prog.cc:7: void ASSERT_EQ(T1, T2) [with T1 = unsigned int; T2 = unsigned int]: Assertion `x == y' failed. Aborted The example is compiled with gcc 5.2 and boost 1.60 (http://melpon.org/wandbox/permlink/QF1qyw5bWHKwyKJ8). Is there an error in my code? I would guess that transforming a range into a range of new objects of another type is quite common, so it should work. I am also curious why the warning is only emitted when compiling with optimizations. Best wishes, Jens -- Jens Auer | CGI | Software-Engineer CGI (Germany) GmbH & Co.
