Hello all, We have had problems with boost::path when used as a const global variable, using gcc on ARM Linux. Example code (typed in the the email so probably missing code, but this is the basic premise) #include <boost/filesystem/path.hhp> const boost::path test = "/usr/bin/whatever"; main() { //something } This crashes prior to getting to main, obviously whilst the path is being set up during initialisation. Is this a known problem? Is there a way round it? Have we misunderstood something important? Path works fine elsewhere, its only when some sort of initialisation code is called that it goes pear shaped.
