I had reported the problem to the boost.log maintaner before to open the ticket and the response was:


{{{
Looks like a compiler bug to me since the derivation_value_traits::to_value_ptr clearly has external linkage.

You should report the problem to Boost.Intrusive maintainer. 
I'm not sure I can work it around on Boost.Log side.
