The problem also seems to involve other some uses of filesystem with static builds. As a first step to solving the problem, I'll expand testing to cover both your specific example and static builds in general.

Thanks,

I have apparently the same problem using this line:

const bfs::path	AOSL_XSD_FILE			= bfs::current_path() / "aosl.xsd";

With bfs namespace being boost::filesystem namespace.

Full source is available there: http://code.google.com/p/art-of-sequence/source/browse/tools/aosdesigner/Paths.cpp?r=d51b374de600ecc4f8829b5aeb9cfdcd50335096

Also, is it normal behavior that current_path() returns and empty string? Not sure if it's related.

Actually, in my case the same problem occurs in Debug and Release mode too, using VS2010, with static/multithreaded boost libraries.

In fact my problem is better described by #6690 . I'm trying to hunt why the codecvt() function returns a null object.

I'm working this issue today. Plan is to (1) revert 76303 and verify that fixes the initialization problems, and then (2) work on fixes to #4889, #6320, codecvt_facet not thread safe on Windows, which will be reintroduced when 76303 is reverted.

(In [78000]) Fix #6690 and #6737, resolving static linking related problems with VC++ 8 through 11. Note that this fix may reintroduce codecvt thread safety problems #4889, #6320, for these compilers if static linking is used.

I'm running into this... will this make it into 1.50? Is the thread safety problem (#4889, #6320) re-fixed in 1.50?

I am using 1.50 and vs2010 and am still seeing this problem. I may need to pull boost out of my project if I can't get past this very soon
