Hello, global logger declaration as follows BOOST_LOG_INLINE_GLOBAL_LOGGER_DEFAULT(mylog_master, boost::log::sources::severity_logger<boost::log::trivial::severity_level>); issues a lots of warnings (see below) pointing to some smart_ptr code. If anyone could advice - does it look like my problem or something else – it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Valerii.
