lexical_castfs::wpath(fs::wpath("the path that fails"))
Making the string literal a L-string (L"the path that fails"), it won't compile. The spiel is attached at the end of this message.
If that fails, it means operator>> is mishandling spaces in paths.
lexical_castfs::wpath("the path that fails")
Correcting to make the string L, it throws an exception "bad lexical cast: source type value could not be interpreted as target"
You ask if it's version 2 or version 3 of the fs library:
It doesn't say! However, the href for the docs says "this is version 2", which was "default for Boost 1.44 only". But I have Boost 1.43. The headers don't show version numbers, but do show a date of 2005. Should I move to version 3? I guess Boost 1.44 is hot off the press so it's normal enough that I don't have it?
