Could you provide a patch?
As you know: It is easy to suggest a solution if you know nothing about the problem. And I definitely do not know enough about spirit. To be precise: I have no idea how the *.ipp is getting into play. So please understand that I am only showing a way: Say you have: void foo() { static boost::thread_specific_ptr<mytype> p; p->myval; } I suggest instead to have something along the lines: namespace { // to keep things private as possible boost::thread_specific_ptr<mytype> foo_p; }; void foo() { foo_p->myval; } Since I expect, that it will be not of much difference if you put the tss into anonymous namespace this should force the ctor beeing called once before main. The point is that thread_specific_ptr needs to be a global object. Does this help? Roland
