Hi Carlo,
I just wanted to point out native_file_string is part of boost::filesystem::path and copy_file and rename_file (actually called rename) are part of boost::filesystem (operations.hpp).
I am aware of that. The point is that I had a need to rewrite them. That seems to indicate that the boost implementation is flawed.
perhaps you could enlighten us further? "doesn't work" is a lousy bug report "flawed" isn't a lot better.
My problem is that Beman is not here. It seems to make little sense to try to convince people when in the end nobody is going to make changes to boost when he is not here.
I'm discussing with Beman the possibility of appointing an interim maintainer for the library. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
