#13528: Boost Test 1.67 crashes when the --report_sink command-line parameter is
used

     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  test
  Version:  Boost 1.67.0      |   Severity:  Showstopper
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+-------------------------------
 Environment: Visual Studio 15.6, 64-bit build of Boost.

 Scenario: a Boost.Test executable crashes with an access violation when
 run with the -e command-line argument.

 Cause: Boost.Test has two global singletons, a framework::state instance
 inside s_frk_state() and a results_reporter_impl instance inside
 s_rr_impl(). Their relative destruction order is undefined, in my case the
 results_reporter_impl instance is destroyed before the framework::state
 instance. The following sequence of events then takes place:

 1) framework::state::~state destroys the m_report_sink member, leading to
 the stream_holder::~stream_holder call.

 2) stream_holder::~stream_holder destroys m_cleaner, which calls
 stream_holder::callback_cleaner::~callback_cleaner.

 3) stream_holder::callback_cleaner::~callback_cleaner calls the
 m_cleaner_callback callback, which was passed from framework::init.

 4) The callback calls results_reporter::set_stream.

 5) results_reporter::set_stream accesses the results_reporter_impl
 singleton instance, which has been already destroyed, and the program
 crashes.
