> For each level there is a std::shared_ptr static variable which will be reset during the on-exit chain processing. If the Layout tries to include the level name using the (null) LevelPtr the application will crash. This statement is incorrect and should be: For each level there is a std::shared_ptr static variable which will be **deleted** during the on-exit chain processing. If the Layout tries to include the level name using the (deleted) LevelPtr the application **behaviour is undefined.** The value of the raw pointer held in the std::shared_ptr is not set to nullptr in the std::shared_ptr destructor (at least for both MSVC and [gcc](https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/tree/master)/[libstdc++-v3](https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/tree/master/libstdc%2B%2B-v3)). This will be preventing some crashes when logging is used after exit(). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
