#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  boost::filesystem::path p("file name");
  std::cout << p;
  return 0;
}

The output is "file name".

Could you be forgetting #define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3?

For 1.44.0, the default is still version 2, and for 1.44.0 that
produces file name without the quotes.
