The usual way to report a bug for visual studio compile or library is to to their Connect website and find the bug report page. Here: https://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio You need an account though (you might have one if you used visual studio community). I can post for you if you don't want to, but it might be useful if you end up reporting issues regularly. Also, I believe STL (the main msvc library maintainer) is reading this mailing list so most of the time that helps if he gets involved. Joël Lamotte

Actually the guy who opened Boost.Locale ticket had already filled the bug report: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/2185894 So hopefully it will get addressed (also AFAIR it is 2nd time Boost.Locale leads to a bug discovery in MSVC library) I assume it is related to some dllimport/export stuff... (which makes me like ELF every time I find such things :-) )

This was a devirtualization bug that's been fixed in VS 2015 Update 2. STL
