The test program below works with Boost 1.32, the last release at the time of the original report. Also works with 1.33.1 and the i18n update in current CVS. Exploring a bit deeper it seems the OP might be using no_check for the name check, in which case '\\' is not necessarily a valid separator character according to the portable grammar. The i18n branch fixes the issue even when using no_check. I'm setting the patch as invalid. I suppose it could be closed/deleted. #include <boost/filesystem/path.hpp> #include <cassert> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main() { fs::path const path1("c:\\some_dir\\some_file.txt", fs::native), path2("c:\\some_dir", fs::native), path3("c:", fs::native); assert(path1.branch_path() == path2); assert(path1.branch_path() != path3); } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steven Weiss (fotzor) Date: 2005-03-05 08:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1124235 i forgot something... in branch_path() you must also change the condition of the if to: if ( end_pos && (m_path[end_pos-1] == '/' || m_path[end_pos-1] == '\\') && !detail::is_absolute_root( m_path, end_pos ) ) --end_pos; else it doesn't work proper. perhaps there are other functions depending on leaf_pos() that must be adjusted as well ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=307586&aid=1157160&group_… ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

(Just try > explaining to someone who's used to Perl/gawk why the new script language > has no variables.) I think one of the first things that should be determine, is the boost doc target audience. Just as newspapers normally target their audience to a certain grade reading level, boost should also target a certain C++ programming skill level. It would be hard to measure or critique a support document, if you don't know who you're targeting.

This is another good reason why examples are so important. A non-english developer can still figure out how to use an interface, if a good example is included in the document. There's been plenty of times when I've been able to use non-english web sites, because they provided good example source code.
