llvm/lib/CodeGen/LiveRangeUtils.h:40: Iterators applied to wrong data structure ?

[dcb314]

Static analyser cppcheck says:

llvm/lib/CodeGen/LiveRangeUtils.h:40:6: error: Same iterator is used with different containers 'LR' and 'LR.segments'. [iterators1]

Source code is

typename LiveRangeT::iterator J = LR.begin(), E = LR.end();
// ...
LR.segments.erase(J, E);

So J and E are iterators for LR, but get used on LR.segments.

I am surprised this compiles.

Hi!

This issue may be a good introductory issue for people new to working on LLVM. If you would like to work on this issue, your first steps are:

3. Fix the issue locally.
4. Run the test suite locally. Remember that the subdirectories under test/ create fine-grained testing targets, so you can e.g. use make check-clang-ast to only run Clang's AST tests.
5. Create a Git commit.
6. Run git clang-format HEAD~1 to format your changes.
7. Open a pull request to the upstream repository on GitHub. Detailed instructions can be found in GitHub's documentation. Mention this issue in the description of the pull request.

@souvik150 this issue might be triage confirming the code is OK, or it might require a fix - good luck!
