Re: [Boost-users] abort when constructing filesystem::path object

You can either construct the "hello world" path with the different
checker or set it by default:
boost::filesystem::path::default_name_check(boost::filesystem::native);

I suppose spaces aren't allowed by default to give maximum portability.
