4717	Non-const local static variable stored_vtable	Kazutoshi Satoda <k_satoda@…>	Douglas Gregor	"In boost/function/function_template.hpp, there is a local static object
stored_vtable which is initialized statically. Since this variable is
not const, it is placed in writable memory (or section).

This can be a critical problem on some embedded, ROM environment which
has only XX KB of RAM. The variable is small, but instanciated for each
combination of template arguments.

Digging the history, this variable was const in old versions, but was
changed to non-const in r43884 (accidentally, I think). After that, some
changes in r43884 were reverted in r49326, but the constness was left as
non-const. I believe that this was just an oversight."	Patches	closed	Boost 1.46.0	function	Boost 1.44.0	Regression	fixed		viboes
