Debug configuration with Visual C++ enables expensive iterator checks
(_ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL). They do catch bugs sometime.
For example, vector::operator * is:
reference operator*() const
{ // return designated object
#if _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 2
const auto _Mycont = static_cast<const _Myvec *>(this->_Getcont());
if (_Mycont == 0
|| _Ptr == _Tptr()
|| _Ptr < _Mycont->_Myfirst
|| _Mycont->_Mylast <= _Ptr)
{ // report error
_DEBUG_ERROR("vector iterator not dereferencable");
_SCL_SECURE_OUT_OF_RANGE;
}
#elif _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL == 1
_SCL_SECURE_VALIDATE(_Ptr != _Tptr());
const auto _Mycont = static_cast<const _Myvec *>(this->_Getcont());
_SCL_SECURE_VALIDATE(_Mycont != 0);
_SCL_SECURE_VALIDATE_RANGE(_Mycont->_Myfirst <= _Ptr && _Ptr <
_Mycont->_Mylast);
#endif /* _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL */
_Analysis_assume_(_Ptr != _Tptr());
return (*_Ptr);
}
