[Boost-users] Using filenames starting with a dot

Hi everyone!

I wanted to create a hidden files (for configuration etc) by starting 
the filename with a dot on a Linux system.
The following line aborts the program when filename is a std::string 
starting with a dot:

 > boost::filesystem::path filename_complete = basepath / filename;

Are there any tricks for that?

Thanks!
