Core dump with deque program

Question

Hey all, here is the small deque program...
When this program was run for upto 529 entires it works fine. When tried for 530 entries it dumps core.
By the way instead of push_front if we use push_back, it works fine. However, we are facing this problem with Sun ONE Studio 11 after our successful compiler upgrade.
If any one has any idea why the following program dumping core with 530 entires?
cut and paste and compile and run ./deque 530, you will receive a core dump in Solaris 10/Sun one Studio 11 (CC 5.8 compiler). Important: make sure you run Solaris 10/Sun One Studio 11 CC 5.8 compiler compiled code.
IT IS NOT DUMPING CORE IN OLDER VERSIONS....
==========deque.cc===================
#include <deque>
#include <iostream>
int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
std::deque< int > container;
std::cout << "maxSize:" << container.max_size() << "\n";
int last( 530 );
if ( argc > 1 )
last = atoi( argv[ argc - 1 ] );
std::cout << "Building to " << last << "\n";
for ( int i = 0; i < last; ++ i )
container.push_front( i );
int idx = 0;
for ( std::deque< int >::const_iterator
iter = container.begin();
iter != container.end();
++ iter, ++ idx )
std::cout << idx << ": " << (*iter) << "\n";
std::cout << "maxSize:" << container.max_size() << "\n";
return 0;
The pstack output from core file...

Answer 1

The patch that fixes CR 6363210 involves the header files for the deque implementation in Sun Studio 10 and 11. The runtime library /usr/lib/libCstd.so.1 also has that code in it. Whether you generate the affected functions inline in your code, or pick them up from the runtime library, depends on various compiler options.
If you have not installed the latest C++ runtime library patch and get these functions from the runtime library, you will not have the benefit of the bug fix.
You can get all current patches here:

If after installing current patches you still have the problem, please post a stand-alone code example that shows the problem.
