#4581: Filesystem V3 should not require wstring support
-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
Reporter: Steve Soule <sts11dbxr@â¦> | Owner: bemandawes
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: filesystem
Version: Boost 1.44.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: |
-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
V2 of the filesystem library did not require wstring support; V3 does
require wstring. There are systems in widespread use (such as those that
use uclibc instead of glibc) that do not have wchar_t, and will probably
never have wchar_t. So long as filesystem V2 still exists, this is not a
problem, but V2 is officially deprecated, so might not be around much
longer.
You need to either:
1. Keep filesystem V2 around forever.
or
2. Modify filesystem V3 so that it does not require wstring/wchar_t.
(This would be my preference.)
