Debug features on libstdc++ in Linux?

Question

I was running my code under debug mode in VS2010 and it catched a nice error about invalid operator< which wasn't a strict weak ordering. Is there a way to catch these errors in libstdc++ on Linux or such conservative checks are only a feature of visual studio 2010?

Answer 1

Defining _GLIBCXX_DEBUG should do the trick. :)
