Hi: Can anyone actually comment on when or if this bug might actually get fixed? It's an obvious bug, the fix is a trivial amount of work - it comes with a patch that I've tested on Win32 ....

Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: boost::filesystem::exists has bugs with UNC paths
Initial Comment: boost::filesystem::exists(path("//computer")) always fails, even if the computer exists. boost::filesystem::exists(path("//computer/share")) always succeeds, even if the share doesn't exist.
The attached patch fixes this by: - always succeeding for //computer (this is better than always failing) - correctly detecting the existance or not of a share. (The problem here was that the code was missing an error code check)
