Re: [Boost-users] [function?] exception in assign_to_own, was: (no subject)

Timothy Barrett:

Forgive the previous incomplete post. I am working with boost-1_34_1 on redhat EL4 update 5.

My backtrace is: #0 0x56e58955 in ?? () #1 0xb7fd55f5 in boost::function0boost::function_base >::assign_to_own (this=0xb7eda390, f=@0xbffff770)

You may be encountering the thread-safety bug described in http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1260 I suspect that the hotfix for 1.34.x that is mentioned in #1260 is http://boost.sourceforge.net/function-1-34-fix/function_template.hpp You should try replacing your function_template.hpp with the file above and see if it helps. If you wonder how did I know where to find the hotfix - I googled 'assign_to_own' :-)
