     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+------------------------
 boost::filesystem stream classes won't open files with non-ascii filenames
 provided as utf-8 strings.  This happens with and without imbuing a locale
 as specified in the boost doc page "Default Encoding under Microsoft
 Windows".  My example is basically the example on that page, but with an
 ifstream.

 I compiled boost on Arch Linux using the AUR mingw-w64 packages.  I
 reproduced the issue on Windows 7 x64, Windows 7 x64 VM, and in x64 Wine.

 I confirmed that the file exists and is named properly by making a
 parallel test program using _wopen (the file opened successfully).
