     Type:  Bugs                    |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined        |  Component:  property_tree
  Version:  Boost 1.61.0            |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                          |
------------------------------------+---------------------------
 A very simple example of the problem can be seen with this code:
 {{{#!C++
 boost::property_tree::path_of<std::string>::type path("parent");
 std::string component("child");
 path / component;
 }}}
 This produces an error of "no match for operator/". I have tested this on
 G++ 6.2.0, VS 14 Update 3, and Apple's clang-800.0.38, and they all
 produce roughly the same error. This issue can be worked around by
 replacing the third line with `path /
 boost::property_tree::path_of<std::string>::type(component)` or `path /
 component.c_str();`, as those types are both explicitly overloaded. Adding
 an additional overload for the String type will fix this issue.
