Is there a way to force destruction of the boost logging core singleton? It can accessed via:
boost::log::core::get();
Which returns a shared pointer to the logging core. However, I need to shutdown / de-allocate it explicitly before my application closes other resources / detaches dll etc...
Is this possible?
No, the singleton only gets destroyed on application termination. But depending on what you're trying to achieve, you can make it release certain resources. For instance, by calling remove_all_sinks you can make it release all sinks, which will cause their destruction, unless they are referenced to from elsewhere.
