Comment (by Charles Olivi <charles.olivi@…>):

 Hi,

 Yep it's indeed the shared pointer that does the job for the single pass
 iterator used and described here:
 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/InputIterator.html


 I'm not the maintainer of boost.org/filesystem, I'm pretty sure your fix
 will be discarded.

 If you really want to do it with shared_ptr you probably need a copy
 constructor based on [ {std::move; std::make_shared} / boost::make_shared
 ] and operator= based on std::swap.

 Thanks,
 Charles
