There is another pull request https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/pull/43 Can this maybe be taken into account for boost 1.66 ? Thanks ! Le 25/08/2017 à 12:21, Klaim - Joël Lamotte via Boost-users a écrit :

Hi Guys,

I would like to bump this particular issue that is quite annoying for me.

Basically it crashes as soon as you call boost::filesystem::exists in the ctor of a static variable initialized at program startup

https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12987 <https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12987>

Looks like there was a fix 4 month ago but this hasn't been pushed into the trunk yet

Any idea how to push the process forward ?

Thanks !

I also hit this and fixed it in, I believe, a simpler way: https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/pull/50 (Also note that as long as the object is static and in a namespace, static initialization fiasco will happen anyway, which is why I simply moved it in the scope of the function.)

But as you can see there is no response there either yet. I suspect that work on making boost.filesystem match std::filesystem is taking all the author's available resources.
