There are lots of "#ifdef BOOST_WINDOWS ... #endif" blocks wrapping code to handle the ':' in libs/filesystem/path_posix_windows.cpp. In one place only is the preprocessor block missing, which I believe is a bug. Patch attached.

Silly test case. Without the patch, this:

#include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string>

namespace fs = boost::filesystem;

int main() { std::string const PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"; fs::path const path(PATH, fs::no_check); std::cout << PATH << '\n' << path.native_file_string() << std::endl; return 0; }

Produces /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin /usr/local/bin:usr/bin:bin under *nix.

Thanks for spotting this. I've added the test case to path_test.cpp, and applied the patch to fix the problem. --Beman
