12420,Boost filesystem should use POSIX API on cygwin,frederic.bron@…,Beman Dawes,"Hi,

On cygwin, the following program

#include <iostream>

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

int main() {
  auto p = boost::filesystem::path{""foo""};
  p /= ""bar"";
  std::cout << p.string() << '\n';
  return 0;
}

outputs:
foo\bar

but cygwin is a posix system and I expect:
foo/bar

I read in the doc that ""User-defined BOOST_POSIX_API and
BOOST_WINDOWS_API macros are no longer supported.""

I guess system/api_config.hpp should be:

-# if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__) // Windows default,
including MinGW and Cygwin
+# if defined(_WIN32) // Windows default, including MinGW
#   define BOOST_WINDOWS_API
# else
#   define BOOST_POSIX_API
# endif",Bugs,new,To Be Determined,filesystem,Boost 1.61.0,Problem,,,
