I'm using boost 1.33 with Visual C++ 7. I need to create an instance of boost::filesystem::path. I tried :
std::string dir="c:\\"; boost::filesystem::path my_path(dir);
The compilation is successful but at the execution, I obtain a non handled exception in the xstring file at the end of this function :
void _Tidy(bool _Built = false,
[snip]
I don't see how the following explains an exception in this function, but anyways, in case it helps:
IIRC, the Filesystem library in 1.33 was "strict" by default, meaning that you could not construct a path from a non-portable syntax like the "c:\" you show above. To use such non-portable paths, you had to explicitely say so, by passing the "native" flag to the ctor. See http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.lang.c++.moderated/msg/69fdb04bca3ab4de
