7211	path_locale destructor crashes when overloaded operator new and delete are present	Michel Lemay <flaming_mike_@…>	Beman Dawes	"path_locale is defined using this construct in path.cpp:

std::locale path_locale(std::locale(), new windows_file_codecvt); 

Under the debugger of VC10/11, the destructor of std::locale calls free() for this facet pointer when refcount reaches 0.

I ackknowledge this is a bug in dinkumware implementation of the microsoft STL.  See for mor information: 

http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/750951/std-locale-implementation-in-crt-assumes-all-facets-to-be-allocated-on-crt-heap-and-crashes-in-destructor-in-debug-mode-if-a-facet-was-allocated-by-a-custom-allocator

That said, I suggest a workaround made using only standard calls.

in v3/src/windows_file_codecvt.hpp, change the constructor to pass along default refcount:

   explicit windows_file_codecvt(size_t refs = 0)
        : std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t>(refs) {}

and in v3/src/path.cpp, define path_locale like this:


  windows_file_codecvt windows_cvt_path_locale(1);

  std::locale path_locale(std::locale(), &windows_cvt_path_locale);
