[Boost-users] boost::filesystem::filesystem_error returns wrong error code on bad path?

Hi,

When I create a bad path on purpose, the error code that boost returns is:
2 other_error,      // library generated error

However, the exception.hpp what() returns the string:

boost::filesystem::path: invalid name "testwrite1::.txt" in path:
"../data/TestFileIO/testwrite1::.txt"

It seems like the string from what() correctly identifies the error at a
bad path name, but it is not correctly translated in the error code
enumeration. I thought it should be:

6 path_error

Using boost 1.33.1
http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/exception.htm

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ed Johnson
