#8259 new Bugs

ICU is used but not cleaned up, leaking memory.

Description

So ICU is used in Boost.Locale, but not cleaned up, which leaks memory.

I've attached a patch that fixes this, but has some setbacks:

  • It's not thread safe (that I know of).
  • ICU may be used in other Boost libraries (like Regex) and it will break their data.
  • ICU may be used in user applications and it will break their data.

A solution would be to make an interface for the application users to use that cleans up ICU specifically, but that'd break encapsulation would it not?
