April 5, 2011Apr 5, 201104/5/11In Part 3 of my video lecture series exploring the Standard Template Library’s implementation, I explain how our powerful correctness checks in debug mode work. In VC10, they’re controlled by the macro _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL, which supersedes VC8 and VC9’s more confusing _SECURE_SCL and _HAS_ITERATOR_DEBUGGING macros.
