[Boost-users] A default constructor for Boost.MPI environment?

Dear boost users,

I am using Boost.MPI for a python module so there is no argc, argv
that can be provided to

boost::parallel::mpi::environment(int & argc, char ** & argv)

Because an environment object has to exist during the life time of the
module, I have to define a global variable in an awkward way:

int fake_argc = 0;
char * fake_argv = "";
char ** ptr_argv = &fake_argv;
boost::parallel::mpi::environment env(fake_argc, ptr_argv);

Can a default constructor be provided?

Bo
