#9583: Support of wide character filenames in boost::interprocess::file_lock
---------------------+------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  jmalo@…  |       Type:  Feature Requests
   Status:  new      |  Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  None     |    Version:  Boost 1.55.0
 Severity:  Problem  |   Keywords:  wide characters interprocess
---------------------+------------------------------------------
 boost::interprocess::file_lock is unable to handle paths with wide
 character filenames.

 This feature is already commented in the list of future improvements

 I attach one patch to add this support for Windows platform (you can use
 boost::filesystem::c_str() and it will hide if it is char* or wchar_t* for
 you :))
