Is boost::filesystem::path unable to deal with hidden unix dircetories?
Dear boost users and developers, I just encountered a minor problem in boost::filesystem::path which seems to be unable to deal with hidden unix directories ( == names preceeded by an dot '.' character ). Is there any way to generate a valid path object for paths like "/foo/.bar"? Trying to create such an object from a C++ string results in an exception getting thrown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Inform.

Hi, You can perhaps create your path without the name check. (use name_checker no_name_check in the constructor or something like this).

How are you creating said path? IIRC, the default name checker won't allow filenames whose leaves start with dots for portability reasons ( some OSes don't like them ). - Scott
