Why not? std::string is convertable from char const * also "creating string" price is quite negligible in comparison to loading library...
I agree but lot of libraries that take such inputs uses const char * to avoid forcing to use std::string, as some plateform implement it in a non efficient way (I'm thinking embedded), so I was asking to know if there is a particular reason. I personally don't mind, I also don't know if it's a important thing for boost, but it might be if you try to standardize it one day I guess.

The fourth I don't know about. Can't Boost.FileSystem do all that?
Boost.FileSystem is about the file system only, not about all the OS services. Joël Lamotte
