Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John (drjohnfoster) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: format zero length string msvc-8 Initial Comment: Since Microsoft have deprecated most of the standard library, their debug libraries also check for unsafe pointers. The following code gives an assertion: (boost::format("%s") % "").str(); In debug mode, basic_string<char>::append(0, 0) called from mk_str in feed_args.hpp is tested by the macro _DEBUG_POINTER, and decides the pointer is invalid even though the count is 0. I imagine this toxic behaviour is repeated in a number of places. It would be nice if the boost library could work around this problem at a low level. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1537844&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
