Re: [Boost-users] boost::filesystem::path throws exception: invalid name

24 May 2007


      Is there any mechanism to force boost to check the native filesystem
for a path format? Adding
default_name_check(boost::filesystem::native) does not seem to help.
I'm still getting the invalid name exception.

Sorry, my bad. The 'default_name_check' exists in the
boost::filesystem::path namespace and not boost::filesystem.
However, it has no effect. In other words, I still get the invalid
name exception.
I'm using Boost-1.33.1 on a windows box.

That results in a compiler error:
C2039 : default_name_check is not a member of boost::filesystem

Set
boost::filesystem::default_name_check(boost::filesystem::native);
before using path objects as boost uses posix name checking by default. This
has been changed in boost version 1.34.

My code looks something like this:
try{
      fs::path full_path (fs::initial_path());
      full_path = fs::system_complete(fs::path(filePath,
fs::native));
...
fs::create_directories(full_path);
      INFO << "Directory successfully created: "
           << full_path.native_directory_string() <<
std::endl;
...
retval = true;
   }catch(std::exception& ex){
      WARN << "Could not create directory: " << filePath
           << " " << ex.what() << std::endl;
   }
   return retval;
==========
When filePath is "c:\a\b\", boost throws an exception saying invalid
path name c:\a\b\ in path "c:\a\b\"
when filePath is "c:\\a\\b\\", boost throws exactly the same exception
when filePath is "c:/a/b/", the exception string changes saying
invalid path name "c:" in path "c:/a/b/"
What am I doing wrong?
