I have been trying to learn Boost.Locale Module. Consider this http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/locale/doc/html/conversions_8cpp-e... example. The code gets successfully compiled but when I try to run it, it gives the error Unhandled exception at 0x74d34b32 in LearningCPP.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_cast at memory location 0x00a6fa48.. I have attached the stack-trace of the program also. Here it is: KernelBase.dll!74d34b32() [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for KernelBase.dll] KernelBase.dll!74d34b32() > msvcr100d.dll!_nh_malloc_dbg(unsigned int nSize, int nhFlag, int nBlockUse, const char * szFileName, int nLine) Line 302 + 0x1d bytes C++ msvcr100d.dll!malloc(unsigned int nSize) Line 56 + 0x15 bytes C++ LearningCPP.exe!std::use_facet<boost::locale::converter<char>

Did anyone faced this issue when using Boost.Locale in Visual Studio 2010? If so, how do I resolve this issue? *PS:* I have used option Use Unicode Character Set under the Character Set option of Visual Studio. I believe the libraries are correctly linked too. -- *sarvagya*
