Unhandled exception when application is finishing

I have a singleton (I know that is a bad pattern). To control the cleaning process, I'm using a shared pointer. The relevant code is:

#ifndef _GLOBAL_LOG_H_
#define _GLOBAL_LOG_H_

    namespace glog{

        class CGlobalLog;
        typedef boost::shared_ptr<CGlobalLog> globalLogPtr;

        class CGlobalLog
        {
        private:

            static globalLogPtr m_instance;
            LogLevel minimiumLogLevel;
            CGlobalLog(void);

            static void deleter(CGlobalLog *ptr){
                try{
                    delete ptr;
                }
                catch(std:: e)
                {
                    std::cout << e.what() << "\n";
                }
            }
            static void create() { m_instance.reset( new CGlobalLog, &CGlobalLog::deleter );   }  
            void addMessage_(const std::string& appender, LogLevel level /*= LOGLEVEL_INFO*/,const char* msg, va_list args );
            ~CGlobalLog(void);
        public:         
            static globalLogPtr& getInstance();
            void addMessage(const std::string& message, std::string appender, LogLevel level = LOGLEVEL_INFO);

        };
        开发者_Go百科globalLogPtr CGlobalLog::m_instance;
    };

#endif // _GLOBAL_LOG_H_

The program works fine, but when program finish, an unhandled exception is thrown in this point:

static void deleter(CGlobalLog *ptr){
    try{
        delete ptr; //<-- Unhandled exception
    }
    catch(std:: e)
    {
        std::cout << e.what() << "\n";
    }
}

The catch doesn't catch the exception so I don't know what to do to profile my error. The exact code where error is throw is a boost library file checked_delete.hpp, here:

// verify that types are complete for increased safety

template<class T> inline void checked_delete(T * x)
{
    // intentionally complex - simplification causes regressions
    typedef char type_must_be_complete[ sizeof(T)? 1: -1 ];
    (void) sizeof(type_must_be_complete);
    delete x;
}

How do I need to locate this error? Some ideas?

Thanks!!!

I generally don't expect to see a shared pointer on a singleton. Just returning a reference to your singleton and never keeping a reference to it laying around is a good practice.

struct Foo {
  static Foo &instance() {
    static Foo foo;
    return foo;
  }
};

struct Bar {
  void someMethod() {
    Foo &foo = Foo::instance(); // just grab a reference every time you need it
    // ...
  }
};

If you wish to keep the shared pointer and need to clean up resources in manual way, create a tear down method. The boost::shared_ptr will clean up the memory eventually.

Personally, I think using a shared pointer externally is inferior. I wrote some code to demonstrate a tear down and it didn't seem generally applicable without knowing why you need one.

If you want an explicit delete, then write one.

struct Foo {
  static Foo *foo = 0;
  static Foo &instance() {
    if (!foo)
      throw std::logic_error("Already deleted");
    return *foo;
  }
  static void Init() {
    if (foo)
      throw std::logic_error("Already created");
    foo = new Foo;
  }
  static void Destroy() {
    if (!foo)
      throw std::logic_error("Already deleted");
    delete foo;
    foo = 0;
  }
};

In the case of logging, the logic errors should be superfluous. If logging isn't valid when you ask for it, then it is unlikely that your application is in a valid state.
