[Boost-users] [filesystem] basic_path question

Hi,

I create the following object:

boost::filesystem::path mypath( "SomeFolder/OnWindows/SubFolder" );

In Microsoft Windows, the standard slash direction is "\", so when I run the
above in the debugger, I notice m_path is still using forward slashes ("/").
I would have expected the slashes to be normalized. Am I misunderstanding
something? How can I construct a path object like above and have it
normalize the slashes? Thanks.
