Summary
None
Purpose of change
The comparator in a
std::priority_queue
has to obey strict weak ordering, otherwise it's going to cause undefined behaviour. The greater operator ofscored_address
does not meet this condition:A > B
andB > A
are simultaneously true when their scores are equal and this violates the strict weak ordering requirement.This causes assertion failure and crashes the program in MSVC Debug build as well as in
_GLIBCXX_DEBUG
mode in GCC.Describe the solution
Change the greater operator of
scored_address
to do strict greater comparison ofscore
field.std::priority_queue
is undefined anyway.Describe alternatives you've considered
