Dear Josh, The main reason to use MSVC 2008 is that I cannot use MSVC 2010 with Gnuradio and Qt application. I do not know why but it only works with 2008 version. So I decided to move UHD to 2008 and see if it works. I followed your suggestion on the patch of an user and it works perfectly. It is quite strange because the patched code does not seem to be anormal or with some bug but it can be safely removed. I do not know if the program will crash from another side or in the future. I will examine it. If you are interested, I use Windows 7 x64 and a self-compiled boost library, since there are no x64 binaries.

Other users have reported this, but unfortunately, I have not been able to replicate the issue with MSVC2008 pro and boost 1.47 from boost pro website. A user posted a patch here that may work around the issue: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.usrp.e100/3420 -josh

I am wondering if there is an issue with the "/" operator used in paths, and perhaps the log.cpp change is unnecessary. If unchanged log.cpp does cause extra access violation, then perhaps, get_rel_file_path() is the function at fault (also calling into boost fs). Thanks, -josh
