Re: [boost] bug in filesystem::wpath

Hi Beman,

PS: I'd like to hear from programmers using wide character file names. Are they working OK? Are they meeting your needs?

I tested directory_iterator and fstream for Chinese file names on Windows XP Japanese edition. directory_iterator worked correctly, but fstream didn't. In detail::narrow_path_api(), GetShortPathNameW() is used for getting the short 8.3 form names. This function returns an Unicode string which contains non-ASCII characters. So, mapping from Unicode to ANSI is necessary. Please see the the attachment. Regards, Takeshi Mouri
