#9968: [filesystem] Streams don't handle unicode file name on Windows

      Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
 Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  filesystem
   Version:  Boost 1.55.0      |   Severity:  Problem
Resolution:                    |   Keywords:  mingw
-------------------------------+------------------------

Comment (by artyom):

 The problem is that boost::filesystem::ofstream uses native filebuf - and
 mingw does not support wide path parameter so basically it fails back to
 narrow strings.

 In these terms ofstream is not really useful under mingw.
