Re: [Boost-users] [filesystem] wpath and fopen() on windows

A repost, as I still don't know the answer...

Ok so ... I have a wpath, and an interface that looks something like this:

xyz.openFile( const char* name ); xyz.openFileDesc( int fd ); xyz.openFileHandle( FILE * file );

How do I go from a wpath to a filedescriptor? This doesn't work:

fs::ifstream file( path ); xyz.openFileDesc( file.fd() );

Do I have to use the native wfopen in windows and fopen in linux (and the usual #ifdef hackery), or is there a "standard" way I can open a file with wpath on all platforms? Thanks Paul
