Milestone:  To Be Determined             |  Component:  log

-----------------------------------------+---------------------
 Doing the following causes a segfault:

 char* msg = nullptr;
 BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(trace) << msg;

 It causes a call to std::char_traits<char>::length on the 'msg' above,
 which causes a segfault.

 I would anticipate that this functionality match the standard ostream
 version of the same thing, which is to not print at all, or at least the
 printf formatting, which prints (null).
