For other systems, it just returns true, presumably on the theory that for Unix, anything goes. Unless I'm much mistaken though, the character '/' is not allowed in Unix filenames. As such, native() should be changed as follows: BOOST_FILESYSTEM_DECL bool native( const std::string &name ) { return name.find('/') == std::string::npos; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1151823&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
