I've tried to find when, in what version, this change occured, but couldn't find it in release notes.
In the current version, at least, this behaviour for / comes from the explicitly-specified /=, so checking the docs for that should fine the change. I don't know why it was made, though I suspect
"The path stored in rhs is appended to the stored path." Well, that's clear, but it doesn't say why it changed, and why it can return a non valid path.
And if I want previous behavior, I have 2 solutions. Fix my code, of fix boost code. I'm afraid that if I fix boost code I could break some boost functionnalities, or can I do it with no problem ?
If you decide to fix your code, apparently the function that does what you want in the current version is named complete: http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/reference.html#Operations-functions
Thanks, for the moment, I fixed some part of my code checking path with is_complete, but as we use this almost everywhere, I think I would prefer to do it in boost. Are there unit tests of boost path that I can run to be sure that nothing is broken ? Gérald
