[cfe-dev] libcxx std::cerr on GNU/Linux

[David Chisnall]

Two replies so far, and everyone seems to be assuming you're talking about libcxxrt, not libc++.  For future reference, calling libc++ libcxx apparently confuses people...

As to the bug, I've seen crashes like this before when doing the FreeBSD and Solaris ports.  As I recall, that exception is thrown when the locale_t is NULL.  In this case, I would expect you to be using the C locale.  I believe on glibc that this is generated by calling __cloc(), so this may be a good place to look.
