I'm trying to compile and run a very simple unit test using the boost test library on Windows with MinGW, and I'm running into a segfault problem. I searched around the issue, and it seems I've found references to such an issue from 2003: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2003/09/52920.php and there Jeff Garland says it's been fixed already. has it? I'm thinking it's the same issue based on this ticket: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11838 which points to the boost mailing list archive entry above. the test code is simply: #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> using namespace boost::unit_test; void test() { BOOST_CHECK(true); } test_suite * init_unit_test_suite(int, char **) { test_suite *ts = BOOST_TEST_SUITE("Test"); ts->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&test)); framework::master_test_suite().add(ts); return 0; } compiled with the following Makefile: CFLAGS=-I${INCLUDE_DIR} LDFLAGS=-enable-stdcall-fixup -Wl,-enable-auto-import -Wl,-enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc -mthreads -Wl,-subsystem,windows -L${LIB_DIR} test: test.o g++ ${LDFLAGS} test.o -lboost_unit_test_framework-mt -lboost_test_exec_monitor-mt -o test test.o: test.cpp g++ ${CFLAGS} -c -o test.o test.cpp and gdb says: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00418e7c in global constructors keyed to _ZN5boost9unit_test64_GLOBAL__N_libs_ test_src_unit_test_monitor.cpp_3F6EE7DC_ED9224E217unit_test_monitorE () (gdb) bt #0 0x00418e7c in global constructors keyed to _ZN5boost9unit_test64_GLOBAL__N_l ibs_test_src_unit_test_monitor.cpp_3F6EE7DC_ED9224E217unit_test_monitorE () #1 0x004273f7 in __main () #2 0x00401c78 in main () this is on a Windows XP box, with gcc 3.4.2 MinGW, using boost 1.35.0 am I doing something wrong?
