Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #10291: path doesn't have move constructor/assignment operator

anonymous — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 22:59:12 GMT

There are three solutions to this problem:

1) Delete the explicit copy constructor/copy assignment operator 2) Explicitly define the move constructor/assignment operator 3) Define the move constructor/assignment operator as = default

I personally prefer #1, then #3.

milestone To Be Determined → Boost 1.57.0

Work has started to bring the library into alignment with the C++ committee File System Technical Specification. That should clear this problem. The ticket will be left open until the changes are committed.

status assigned → closed
resolution → fixed
milestone Boost 1.57.0 → Boost 1.60.0

For Boost 1.60.0 on compilers with the required C++11 features, the filesystem library will support move constructors and move assignments called for in the C++ File System Technical Specification, TS 18822.

These changes have been made on my local develop branch and testing is underway. They should be available in a day or two on the https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem develop branch, and will be merged to master as soon as sufficient regression tests have cycled.

Thanks,
