[Boost-users] [filesystem] path iterator appends / instead of \ on windows

In boost v1.47, filesystem\v3\src\path.cpp, inside function m_path_iterator_increment, on line 654, It should be: it.m_element.m_pathname = preferred_separator; Instead of it.m_element.m_pathname = separator; Reason: In below sample code boost::filesystem::path new_path; for (fs::path::iterator i=path.begin();i!=path.end();i++) new_path/=(*i); On windows when iterating a path using above code, line 654 incorrectly appends / instead of \ after drive letter. For example, D:\path\file Becomes, D:/path\file I have created a trac ticket for the same: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5989 SG
