Likewise, inspection of the code does not reveal any hidden corner cases. I suspect that something else in the submitter's code led to memory trampling of some kind. So, in answer to the summary of the defect, no, I don't believe there is. However, if a self-contained example that demonstrates a problem can be posted, this conclusion can be revisited and the defect reopened. </pre> Ticket anonymous Tue, 09 Aug 2011 08:45:42 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/295#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/295#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>severity</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">Problem</span> </li> </ul> <p> evn i have faced this issue but i have hot got core dump instead i got memory leak </p> Ticket anonymous Tue, 09 Aug 2011 08:46:39 GMT
