Hi Guys,

I'm wondering if the possibility to handle custom filesystem is planned at some point in the Filesystem library ?

My goal is to manage a virtual filesystem contained in a "big file" or in an archive in a transparent way with the other files on the system.

This have been discussed before indeed: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2014/01/210470.php

See also: http://alamaison.github.io/2014/01/09/proposal-generic-filesystem/

Basically, the author of the proposal didn't have time to experiment more on the idea

and at the time boost.filesystem was being worked to match the filesystem TS or something

like that (still ongoing if my memory is correct).

I have plans to try using binding PhysFS with this approach (which would match

what you are asking for) but I didn't have time to do so yet.
