     Type:  Bugs                        |      Status:  new            
Milestone:  Boost 1.35.1                |   Component:  circular_buffer
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0                |    Severity:  Showstopper    
 Keywords:  circular_buffer, bad_alloc  |  
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 When a circular buffer is default constructed, it causes an allocation
 that's very large causing usually a bad allocation error when using the
 standard allocator(s).

 A proposed change is to make the default constructor instead set the
 capacity to 0.
