Re: [Boost-users] [filesystem] boost::filesystem::path::append() with boost::filesystem::iterator

Unexpectedly this does not seem to work. Consider:
boost::filesystem::path a("foo/bar/"), b("root/test");
a.append( b.begin() + 1, boost::filesystem::const_iterator() ); \\ Expects
a == "foo/bar/test"
Am I missing something?
Kind regards,

Default constructed boost::filesystem::path::[const_]iterator is not a
valid end iterator as with boost::filesystem::directory_iterator it would
seem, barring that, here's the trac ticket with an make_relative() function
for which this functionality was originally needed for:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6249

Kind regards,
