Eep, don't do that!
Facets are reference-counted. The locale adds a reference when you add the facet, and takes it away when it is destructed. When the count drops to zero, it tries to delete the facet.
Either allocate the facet with new and pass it to the locale, or pass 1 to its constructor so that the reference counter is initialized at 1 and never drops to zero.
Thanks guys! Now it is working fine on Linux (with LANG=en_US.utf8 at least). I put my utf8_facet inside a shared_ptr that lives throught my app so thats solved. However, on OS X it still wont work, not sure why.. When I do fs::wpath_traits::imbue( loc ); I get an "locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid" exception. I'm running with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 here, which (according to locale in console) is fine. Any clues? Thanks Johan
