I will try to reproduce the example as soon as I have access to a windows machine.

For the second issue, as DATE_TIME_NO_DEFAULT_CONSTRUCTOR is not documented so that I can not take care of it. In addition the ptime interface is deprecated now.

Is it noted anywhere that the ptime interface is deprecated? What version of Boost did this occur in?

1.50. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/thread/time.html#thread.time.deprecated.

Note BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_DEPRECATED_FEATURES_SINCE_V3_0_0 in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.this_thread. And http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_50_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration.deprecated.

1.51 will be a little more explicit.

Test regressions in http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/thread.html show that the test_7160 is passing on windows. Please could you check the test?

Just realized (after running your regression test) that this only happens in Debug mode...not in Release.

Issue 1 happens any time a ptime default constructor is used...which I'm also now realizing includes creating a deadline_timer. The following creates the same run-time error (in Debug):

#define BOOST_DATE_TIME_POSIX_TIME_STD_CONFIG
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/asio.hpp>
class ThreadClass
{
   public:
	ThreadClass(){}
	void operator()(){return;}
};
int main()
{
	boost::asio::io_service ioService;
	boost::asio::deadline_timer x(ioService);
	ThreadClass tc;
	boost::thread t(tc);
	t.join(); //causes a runtime access violation here
	std::cout << "done" << std::endl;
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

Since I am writing a library for people to use, I cannot simply say that it's OK that it doesn't break in Release.

Does the error occur in Boost.DateTime?

status assigned → new
component thread → date_time

Moved to DateTime as it seems Boost.Thread has nothing to do here.
