10061,boost::log (boost logging): BOOST_LOG_FUNCTION works only  in main thread,anonymous,Andrey Semashev,"Consider the following function:

{{{
void thread() 
{ 
    BOOST_LOG_FUNCTION(); 

    while(true) {
        // Create log entry
    }
} 
}}}

If I just call ""thread()"" within main() as a function my log entries created in ""thread()"" look as expected:


{{{
[void __cdecl thread(void) (c:\...\maintest.cpp:16)] 
}}}

 
However if you use ""thread()"" within main() as a real thread:
{{{
 boost::thread t(thread); 
}}}
the appropriate log-entry containing the scope is empty:

{{{
[] 
}}}

Code snippet:


{{{
keywords::format = expr::stream
<< ""["" << expr::format_named_scope(""Scope"", keywords::format = ""%n (%f:%l)"")<< ""] ""
}}}

I do not understand this, since the appropriate values '''__FUNCTION__''' and '''__FUNCSIG__''' are always available when manually printed. Operating system: Windows 7. I posted the issue without a solution on stackoverflow a few months ago so that I assume it is a bug:
