Description

Code that uses the macro _RWSTD_OPERATOR_ARROW will be affected by this issue. Code that has '&*' is also very likely to be affected.

#include <deque>
#include <iterator>
#include <list>
#include <set>
#include <vector>

struct S
{
void operator& () const {};
};

int main ()
{
// this is just a compile test, it is not intended to run

std::reverse_iterator<S*>().operator->();
std::set<S>::iterator().operator->();
std::deque<S>::iterator().operator->();
std::list<S>::iterator().operator->();

return 0;
}
