#10061: boost::log (boost logging): BOOST_LOG_FUNCTION works only  in main thread
------------------------------+---------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous         |      Owner:  andysem
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  log
  Version:  Boost 1.54.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+---------------------
 Consider the following function:

 {{{
 void thread()
 {
     BOOST_LOG_FUNCTION();

     while(true) {
         // Create log entry
     }
 }
 }}}

 If I just call "thread()" within main() as a function my log entries
 created in "thread()" look as expected:


 {{{
 [void __cdecl thread(void) (c:\...\maintest.cpp:16)]
 }}}


 However if you use "thread()" within main() as a real thread:
 {{{
  boost::thread t(thread);
 }}}
 the appropriate log-entry containing the scope is empty:

 {{{
 []
 }}}

 Code snippet:


 {{{
 keywords::format = expr::stream
 << "[" << expr::format_named_scope("Scope", keywords::format = "%n
 (%f:%l)")<< "] "
 }}}

 I do not understand this, since the appropriate values '''__FUNCTION__'''
 and '''__FUNCSIG__''' are always available when manually printed.
 Operating system: Windows 7. I posted the issue without a solution on
 stackoverflow a few months ago so that I assume it is a bug:
