[Boost-users] path separator char/string

3 Dec 2008

      I need to get the char or string represent current system's path separator.
In ACE , we can get from this constant: ACE_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR_CHAR. Does
Boost has the similar constant to do the same?

I looked at the path.hpp.  I think maybe I can get it from the following
existing code:

1.
template<class Path> struct slash
      { BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT( char, value = '/' ); };
2.
# ifdef BOOST_WINDOWS_PATH
    template<class Path> struct path_alt_separator
      { BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT( char, value = '\\' ); };
# endif
3.
template<class Path>
      inline  bool is_separator( typename Path::string_type::value_type c )
      {
        return c == slash<Path>::value
#     ifdef BOOST_WINDOWS_PATH
          || c == path_alt_separator<Path>::value
#     endif
          ;
      }

But I don't know exactly how. Anybody can help me?
