Maybe, this can be converted into a function with static variable, so that the static variable is only initialized on the first call?
OK, this has been changed in CVS. Please try it with the same LC_MESSAGES problem, and let me know if the exception occurs at a more appropriate time.
Sorry, no, because of this another static object: const std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t> * converter( &std::use_facet<std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, std::mbstate_t> > ( loc() ) ); which cals 'loc' before 'main' is called, and gives the same problem.
I'm also wondering if the path.cpp code should catch the exception and call boost::throw_exception() with a filesystem_error. What do you think about doing that? Would it have made diagnosing the problem easier for you?
I don't know because I don't know the what() text of the exception thrown on wrong locale. As soon as we get *some* exception caught, things will be clearer. Thanks, Volodya
