[Boost-users] Boost Format Problem with empty strings

Hi

I'm using Visual C++ 8.0 and I tried to run the following code, which
seems to crash with assertion (NULL POINTER) at debug time:

(boost::format( "Something %1%") % std::string()).str()

It seems that it doesn't like empty strings in placeholders at all. Is
it a bug or is it as designed?

Thanks
