unordered_map::find with key std::pair of pointers with custom hash crashes in VS2012

I needed a std::unordered_map with key a std::pair<T*, T*> so I "stole" the following code:

template <class T>
inline void hash_combine(std::size_t & seed, const T & v)
{
  std::hash<T> hasher;
  seed ^= hasher(v) + 0x9e3779b9 + (seed << 6) + (seed >> 2);
}

namespace std
{
  template<typename S, typename T> struct hash<pair<S, T>>
  {
    inline size_t operator()(const pair<S, T> & v) const
    {
      size_t seed = 0;
      ::hash_combine(seed, v.first);
      ::hash_combine(seed, v.second);
      return seed;
    }
  };
}

from this stackoverflow answer.

It works like a charm on linux machines with gcc 4.9.2. However in windows visual studio 2012 it crashes upon calling member function find() of my unordered_map. A friend of mine debugged the crash on windows machine and he reported that it breaks only in debug compilation mode by giving "vector subscript out of range".

Q:

1. Is the code posted valid for hashing a std::pair<T*, T*>?
2. Is there a more robust/better way of hashing a std::pair<T*, T*>?
3. What causes this strange behaviour?

P.S: Deeply sorry for not posting a mcve but It's impossible to do so.

Specialization of templates in std for types also in std may or may not make your program ill-formed (the standard is ambiguous, it seems to use "user-defined type" in multiple different ways without ever defining it). See my question on the subject, and active working group defect on the issue.

So create your own hashing namespace:

namespace my_hash {
  template<class T=void,class=void>
  struct hasher:std::hash<T>{};

  template<class T, class=std::result_of_t< hasher<T>(T const&) >>
  size_t hash( T const& t ) {
    return hasher<T>{}(t);
  }
  template<>
  struct hasher<void,void> {
    template<class T>
    std::result_of_t<hasher<T>(T const&)>
    operator()(T const& t)const{
      return hasher<T>{}(t);
    }
  };

  // support for containers and tuples:
  template <class T>
  size_t hash_combine(std::size_t seed, const T & v) {
    seed ^= hash(v) + 0x9e3779b9 + (seed << 6) + (seed >> 2);
    return seed;
  }

  template<class Tuple, size_t...Is>
  size_t hash_tuple_like(Tuple const& t, size_t count, std::index_sequence<Is...>) {
    size_t seed = hash(count);
    using discard=int[];
    (void)discard{0,((
      seed = hash_combine(seed, std::get<Is>(t))
    ),void(),0)...};
    return seed;
  }
  template<class Tuple>
  size_t hash_tuple_like(Tuple const& t) {
    constexpr size_t count = std::tuple_size<Tuple>{};
    return hash_tuple_like(t, count, std::make_index_sequence<count>{} );
  }
  struct tuple_hasher {
    template<class Tuple>
    size_t operator()(Tuple const& t)const{
      return hash_tuple_like(t);
    }
  };
  template<class...Ts>
  struct hasher<std::tuple<Ts...>,void>:
    tuple_hasher
  {};
  template<class T, size_t N>
  struct hasher<std::array<T,N>,void>:
    tuple_hasher
  {};
  template<class...Ts>
  struct hasher<std::pair<Ts...>,void>:
    tuple_hasher
  {};
  template<class C>
  size_t hash_container( C const& c ) {
    size_t seed = hash(c.size());
    for( const auto& x:c ) {
      seed = hash_combine( seed, x );
    }
    return seed;
  }
  struct container_hasher {
    template<class C>
    size_t operator()(C const& c)const{ return hash_container(c); }
  };
  template<class...Ts>
  struct hasher< std::vector<Ts...>, void >:
    container_hasher
  {};
  // etc
};

now you pass my_hash::hasher<> as your hasher to a container, and you don't have to do the sketchy business of providing a std specialization for a type (mostly) in std.

my_hash::hasher<?,void> exists so you can do SFINAE testing (say, detect if a type is container-like, and forward to hash_container. my_hash::hash provides ADL overriding for types without having to fool around in the my_hash namespace.

As an example:

template<class T>
struct custom {
  std::vector<T> state;
  friend size_t hash( custom const& c ) {
    using my_hash::hash;
    return hash(state);
  }
};

and custom is now hashable. No messy specialization required.
