[interprocess] file_mapping opening opening unicode path on Windows

Is it possible to open a interprocess::file_mapping for a unicode path on windows? Any workarounds? I'm using boost 1.44 but don't see any changes in this respect in the latest boost 1.46 release. Thanks, Jeff

No, sorry. I think it's time to think about those things for future versions. Any suggestion? Best, Ion

An approached suggested in the utf8 discussion threads, I think, is to always use the windows wide api and always assume all char input as utf8. My personal view is that all boost libs dealing with files should be using boost::filesystem::path. Perhaps a new thread should be started. Jeff
