Error description

  • A conflict exists during template resolution between template
    operators for the reverse_iterator type.
    
    The reverse_iterator parameter operators defined in <xutility>
    may conflict with the more generic operators in <utility> when
    the std::rel_ops namespace is used:
    
    
    <xutility>
       449  template<class _RIL, class _RIR> inline
       450        bool operator!=(const reverse_iterator<_RIL>&_X,
       451                        const reverse_iterator<_RIR>&_Y)
       452          {return (!(_X == _Y)); }
    
    <utility>
       113  template<class _Ty> inline
       114          bool operator!=(const _Ty& _X, const _Ty& _Y)
       115          {return (!(_X == _Y)); }
    
    
       === TEST CASE ===
    
    #include <utility>
    #include <xutility>
    #include <deque>
    
    class MyElement { int a; };
    
    class MyList
    {
      public:
         std::deque<MyElement>::reverse_iterator end();
    };
    
    using namespace std::rel_ops;
    
    class MyClass
    {
     public:
      MyList list;
      inline bool mytest();
      std::deque<MyElement>::reverse_iterator position;
    };
    
    inline bool MyClass::mytest()
    {
            return(position != list.end());
            //return( std::operator!=(position,list.end()));
    }
    
    bool test()
    {
     MyClass a;
     return a.mytest();
    }

Local fix

  • Call the required operator explicitly, as per the example above:
    
       return( std::operator!=(position,list.end()));
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users who use std::rel_ops operators with    *
    *                 the reverse_allocator type.                  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: std::rel_ops operators require the same *
    *                      type for both parameters.               *
    *                      Specializations of the same             *
    *                      reverse_allocator type for both         *
    *                      parameters are missing in the STL for   *
    *                      these operators and therefore,          *
    *                      applications fail to compile if they    *
    *                      are used.                               *
