Hi,

 

I have read the specs
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_60_0/libs/filesystem/doc/reference.html#tem
p_directory_path) and found the following issues with Android devices:

 

-          It should first try to get the application's cache directory from
the API level 1 "getCacheDir" so that temporary files created by the
application can be easily and automatically removed.

-          The function fails back to the hard coded value
"/data/local/tmp". But I think it should instead fail back to the
environment variable "ANDROID_DATA" when available and append "/local/tmp"
to it.

 

I'm not a core developer and the information provided on this email maybe
erroneous or incomplete. My apologies if I'm entirely wrong.

 

Thanks,
