Currently there is a problem when you put and then get a boost::filesystem::path to/from a property tree. When you get the path, then the path is first read into a string. Then a stringstream is constructed, and the path is extracted from the stringstream. The problem is that when you extract a path from a stream and the path contains spaces, then the path is truncated at the first space.
The problem can be solved by adding the following code to boost/propery_tree/detail/translator_implementation.hpp. The only drawback I can see is that this introduces a dependency of property tree on basic_path. Maybe one could forward declare basic_path instead. --Johan Råde ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> namespace boost { namespace property_tree { namespace detail { template<class String, class Traits> struct extractor<typename String::value_type, boost::filesystem::basic_path<String, Traits> > { inline bool operator()(const std::basic_string<typename String::value_type>& data, boost::filesystem::basic_path<String, Traits>& extracted, const std::locale&) const { extracted = data; return true; } }; template<class String, class Traits> struct inserter<typename String::value_type, boost::filesystem::basic_path<String, Traits> > { inline bool operator()(std::basic_string<typename String::value_type>& data, const boost::filesystem::basic_path<String, Traits>& inserted, const std::locale) const { data = inserted.string(); return true; } }; }}}
