boost::filesystem in Windows fails to compare two identical paths with different case

Reported by: diecalt@… Owned by: Beman Dawes

Description

boost::filesystem::path a = "E:
temp

Temp
One";

if (a == b) {

std::cout << "Paths are identical" << std::endl;

} else {

Formatted Code: 

	boost::filesystem::path a = "e:\\Temp\\One";
	boost::filesystem::path b = "E:\\Temp\\One";

	if (a == b)
	{
		std::cout << "Paths are identical" << std::endl;
	}
	else
	{
		std::cout << "Paths are identical" << std::endl;
	}
