[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] D13678: [libstdc++ data-formatters] Remove size limits and loop detector.

[Jim Ingham via lldb-commits]

I don't know about the std::list implementation in specific, but in the debugger you have to be aware of the possibility that you are looking at an entity that is in the middle of being modified.  Note, it may not be obvious to the user that that is being done since it may be happening on another thread.  Anyway, depending on how that is done the entity might be in a weird or weirder state.  So it is good never to allow yourself to run off into the weeds if you can easily avoid it.
