Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Alexey Martynov (alexey_martynov) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR and BOOST_AUTO_UNIT_TEST Initial Comment: When using BOOST+AUTO_UNIT_TEST and BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR and BOOST_HAS_THREADS macros under Windows (MSVC71) Access Violation occurs in "lightweight_mutex::scoped_lock::scoped_lock". This behavior produced by error in "boost::detail::allocator_impl" or in Test Framework. Mutex for locking created by static member. Automatic unittests created by using global variables. So we have using uninitialized CRITICAL_SECTION because order of global variables initialization is undefined. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1370716&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

This is frequently met issue with global variables. Peter will you be able to handle this? Gennadiy

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

Only with BOOST_SP_USE_QUICK_ALLOCATOR defined. I'll try to come up with something.
