https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/10660 <p> When I slightly modify the example from the <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/libs/geometry/doc/html/geometry/reference/io/svg/svg_mapper.html">documentation</a>, the code crashes with an obscure (for me) exception deep in the callstack. </p> <p> Running this code: </p> <pre class="wiki">std::ostringstream svg;
