Hi,

I am currently using boost::filesystem::path on Solaris, and I noticed
that if I set the locale to anything except "C" or "POSIX" such as
"en_US.UTF-8", that it crashes i.e. a run-time error gets thrown.  I
found a link describing the issue here:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5928

My question is though, whether it is possible to use boost::filesystem
without locales?  Meaning, if I know my string is a UTF-8 string, is
it possible to avoid the locale processing within the boost
filesystem?

Thanks,
J
