Hi Guys,
I would like to bump this particular issue that is quite annoying for me.
Basically it crashes as soon as you call boost::filesystem::exists in the ctor of a static variable initialized at program startup
https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12987
Looks like there was a fix 4 month ago but this hasn't been pushed into the trunk yet
Any idea how to push the process forward ?
Thanks !

I also hit this and fixed it in, I believe, a simpler way: https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/pull/50 (Also note that as long as the object is static and in a namespace, static initialization fiasco will happen anyway, which is why I simply moved it in the scope of the function.) But as you can see there is no response there either yet. I suspect that work on making boost.filesystem match std::filesystem is taking all the author's available resources. Joël Lamotte
