Hello,
Boost.Filesystem v3 uses wide path under windows and can convert it from the narrow one using codecvt facet, so I would expect if the global locale is some locale that has special codecvt facet installed boost.filesystem should use it, i.e.:
int main() { boost::locale::generator locale_generator; std::locale::global(locale_generator("en_US.UTF-8")); // Now default codecvt facet is UTF-8 one. boost::filesystem::path p("שלום.txt"); boost::filesystem::ofstream test(p); }
However this does not work as expected!
I had found that you need to imbue locale explicitly:
boost::filesystem::path p; p.imbue(std::locale()); // global one p = "שלום.txt"; boost::filesystem::ofstream test(p);
Now it works.
Should I open a ticket for this or this is "planned" behavior?
If it is documented, then it seems to me that this would be the normal behavior. If it is not documented I would open a ticket about it.
