https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9634 <p> Hi, Test /boost1.54-1.54.0/bin.v2/libs/filesystem/test/operations_test_static.test/gcc-4.8/debug/link-static/operations_test generates a core, when testing it with version 1.54 on powerpc64/LE - Ubuntu 14.04 alpha2. Defect has already been opened against Ubuntu, since they do not seem to have lunch Boost tests in this environment: no answer yet. Debugging seems to show that the issue is in: </p> <p> BOOST : libs/filesystem/src/path.cpp </p> <blockquote> <p> std::locale path::imbue(const std::locale&amp; loc) { </p> <blockquote> <p> std::locale temp(path_locale); &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; line 918 path_locale = loc; codecvt_facet_ptr = </p> <blockquote> <p> &amp;std::use_facet&lt;std::codecvt&lt;wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t&gt; &gt;(path_locale); </p> </blockquote> <p> return temp; </p> </blockquote> <p> } </p> </blockquote> <p> At line 918, C++ tries to do some initialization. This seems to imply to use field _M_impl of path_locale, which is 0x0. It seems that no initialization of path_locale is done and thus _M_impl stay 0x0. Then, there is a crash in stdlibc++ code. </p> <p> (gdb) where <a class="missing ticket">#0</a> boost::filesystem::path::imbue (loc=...) at ../libs/filesystem/src/path.cpp:918 <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/1" title="#1: Bugs: boost.build causes ftjam to segfault (closed: Wont Fix)">#1</a> 0x00000000100491b0 in boost::filesystem::path::codecvt () at ../libs/filesystem/src/path.cpp:911 <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2" title="#2: Bugs: list::size should be const (closed: fixed)">#2</a> 0x000000001004aa3c in boost::filesystem::path::wstring (this=0x3ffffffff5c8) at ../boost/filesystem/path.hpp:386 <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3" title="#3: Bugs: automatic conversion and overload proble (closed: fixed)">#3</a> 0x000000001004a540 in boost::filesystem::detail::unique_path (model=..., ec=0x0) at ../libs/filesystem/src/unique_path.cpp:113 <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4" title="#4: Bugs: any_ptr in any library documentation?
