From https://abseil.io/about/design/btree:
BinDiff incorrectly relies on pointer stability and iterator stability when using btree data structures in a number of places:
indexed_fixed_points_is a vector of pointers toFixedPointInfos held in aabsl::btree_setindexed_flow_graphs1_andindexed_flow_graphs2_are vectors of pointers toFlowGraphInfos held in aabsl::btree_mapResults::DeleteMatchescallshistogram_.erasewhile iterating overhistogram_which is aabsl::btree_map, invalidating the iteratorYou can see the effects of these incorrect assumptions by manually removing and adding matches in the IDA plugin. You will see duplicate matches appearing and functions being erased from the database entirely.
This PR fixes the issue by replacing the types that depend on pointer/iterator stability with their STL equivalents.
