Hi,

The following program gives some error. Can somebody let me know if it
is possible to open filenames starting with "."?

Thanks,
Peng

int main()
{
  boost::filesystem::ofstream file(".abc");
}

$ ./main-g.exe
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'boost::filesystem::filesystem_error'
  what():  boost::filesystem::path: invalid name ".abc" in path: ".abc"
Aborted
