This is an implementation-specific feature. It will typically require
compiling (your application, and eventually library files) with a specific
macro defined.
STLport (
www.stlport.org) had pioneered the implementation of such a
debug mode, with extensive range checking, validation of all iterators
and ranges, etc. It can be used with a wide range of compilers.

I think some vendors/platforms have started to include functionality
similar to that of STLport. But I don't know about gcc.
You probably should ask about its status on a platform-specific forum...
