#5217: File streams broken on Windows with STLPort

 Reporter:  andysem           |       Owner:  bemandawes 
     Type:  Bugs              |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  filesystem 
  Version:  Boost 1.46.0      |    Severity:  Showstopper
 Keywords:  fstream           |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 In filesystem/v3/fstream.hpp:26 there is an assumption that on Windows STL
 streams support wide-character file names as arguments. If STLPort is used
 this is not true. This breaks compilation on this platform with the
 following output:

 {{{
 C:\_Sources\boost-release\boost/filesystem/v3/fstream.hpp(123) : error
 C2664: 'stlp_std::basic_ofstream<_CharT,_Traits>::open' : cannot convert
 parameter 1 from 'const boost::filesystem3::path::value_type *' to 'const
 char *'
         with
         [
             _CharT=char,
             _Traits=stlp_std::char_traits<char>
         ]
         Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires
 reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
