Hello,

Including boost/filesystem.hpp is giving me errors using Intel compiler in Linux with -std=c++0x that look like

boost/filesystem/v3/operations.hpp(303): error: name followed by "::" must be a class or namespace name                                          {detail::copy_file(from, to, copy_option::fail_if_exists);}                                                                       ^ It compiles fine under g++ icpc.

What happens with the Intel compiler if you don't specify -std=c++0x? The regression tests are passing for Intel on Linux, but it doesn't look like any of them specify -std=c++0x What version of the Intel compiler are you using? What version of Boost are you using?

There are also a plethora of warnings like

boost/filesystem/v3/operations.hpp(626): warning #279: controlling expression is constant        BOOST_ASSERT(m_imp.get() && "attempt to dereference end iterator");        ^

That one of the problems of the && assert idiom. Now that we've got BOOST_ASSERT_MSG, it can be used to quiet those warnings. I'll take care of that. --Beman
