[Boost.Filesystem] Feature request
Good <time-of-day>! It would be nice to have a utility for walking the filesystem tree. Naive recursive implementation will not work because there may be cycles in filesystem (due to hard/soft links and 'map' feature of 'mount'). PS: What's the status of i18ned filesystem library? -- With respect, Alex Besogonov (cyberax@elewise.com)

The i18n branch contains a recursive directory iterator. I'd very much like feedback on cycles and other issues like usefulness.
PS: What's the status of i18ned filesystem library?
The latest version of the proposal to the C++ committee for TR2 shipped this afternoon. That is the basis for the i18n work. I'm hoping to merge the i18n branch into the HEAD tomorrow or the next day. I just finished a round of tests on both Windows and the Mac, and all seems well with the code. The docs are still rough, but that shouldn't delay the merge. Thanks for the interest, --Beman
