I tried to convert "boost::detail::allocator_impl::mutex" from static variable to Meyer's singleton (with static member function which contains local static variable "mutex"). This solves my problem but I can't suggest any patch because I can't test it with many compilers.
This is frequently met issue with global variables. Peter will you be able to handle this?
I'm not sure how. Turning a mutex into a singleton defeats the whole point of using a mutex, because it introduces an initialization race. But I'll try to think of something that improves the current situation.
I am not sure there is a way around this. It should be created on request. Otherwise no global/static variables could use smart_ptr, isn't it? Gennadiy
