New subject: [program options] access violation with _SECURE_SCL turned off

17 Feb 2009

      Hi,

I'm using the boost 1.36 program options library on windows with
msvc++2008, statically linked to my applications.

In "debug mode" everything works fine, however, in "release mode" I
encounter an access violation when parsing the c++ commandline passed to
main() or when parsing the windows commandline with split_winmain().
Note that this happens only if and only if the preprocessor macro
_SECURE_SCL gets turned off (_SECURE_SCL=0).

scenario 1)
Parsing the main() options, even the simple example from the tutorial,
section "getting started", terminates with an access violation when
calling po::store() without a usable stack trace;

scenario 2)
A simple call to po::split_winmain(L"\"--test\"") produces a crash. Note
the use of a wide character string.
The stack trace:

boost::program_options::detail::utf8_codecvt_facet::do_in()
boost::detail::convert,int
&,char const *,char const *,char const * &,wchar_t *,wchar_t *,wchar_t *
&>,boost::_bi::list8
const
*>,boost::arg<1>,boost::arg<2>,boost::arg<3>,boost::arg<4>,boost::arg<5>,boost::arg<6>,boost::arg<7>
...
...
...
()
boost::from_8_bit()
boost::from_utf8()
boost::program_options::split_winmain()
wmain(int argc=3407872, wchar_t * * argv=0x00000000)
Did somebody encounter this issue?
Any solutions?

Thanks,
Klaus Triendl
