I'd like to use basic_path as a function parameter so that it works correctly whether a wide or narrow string is passed.
template<typename T> void func(basic_path<T> file) { do thing to file }

Try specializing for char and wchar_t instead of char* and wchar_t*. You could also just use
template<typename T, typename Traits> void func(const basic_bath<T, Traits>& file);
Thanks Steven. I tried both of these but still no luck. For this definition: template<typename T, typename Traits> inline hmodule load_library( const boost::filesystem::basic_path<T, Traits>& library_path) {} called like this: load_library("kernel32.dll"); load_library(L"kernel32.dll"); I get this error (namespaces stripped): "error C2784: 'hmodule load_library(const basic_path<String,Traits> &)' : could not deduce template argument for 'const basic_path<String,Traits> &' from 'const char [13]'" and similar for wchar_t[13]. What can I do to help its powers of deduction? Alex P.S. Sorry for all the dupes; GMANE issues :(
