Category: filesystem Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Beman Dawes (beman_dawes) Summary: Win32 windows_name() bug Initial Comment: I have tried this with both Borland and MSVC ... trying to instantiate a boost::filesystem::path instance and getting the following error: Invalid name "D:" in path "D:\". One would figure that this should not happen, as that is a valid Win32 path name. My guess is the problem is the ":", since I tried "D\A", "D\A\B", "D\A\B\C", etc. and did not have any problem with them. Initially I thought is was my Borland compiler, but when it did the same thing with MSVC, then I figured that it was a bug somewhere in the library. If someone could point me in the right direction as to which particular file I need to look at I could probably fix the issue myself, but I would prefer a patch from one of the maintainers to keep the codebase the same as everyone else. Thanks.
