Here is an example; this code does compile and run correctly under V3:
#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> #include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp> #include <string> #include <cassert> #include <windows.h> #include <winnt.h>
namespace fs = boost::filesystem;
typedef std::basic_string<TCHAR> tstring;
void func( const fs::path & p ) { assert( fs::exists( p ) ); }
int main() { // get a path that is known to exist fs::path cp = fs::current_path();
// demo: get tstring from the path tstring cp_as_tstring = cp.string<tstring>();
// demo: pass tstring to filesystem function taking path assert( fs::exists( cp_as_tstring ) );
// demo: pass tstring to user function taking path func( cp_as_tstring );
return 0; }
It is nice to have a single path class, thank you. I'm curious about the internal path representation and the conversion to std::string or std::wstring. If I understood the logic, the string type and path traits are now function template parameters. Is that correct? Could you please estimate when filesystem v3 will be included in a boost release? Thanks again. Best regards Jorge
