13084,boost::filesystem::exists returns false on existing pathnames on OSX systems,fabrice.ducos@…,Beman Dawes,"boost::filesystem::exists returns false on existing pathnames, surprisingly.
This behaviour could be observed at least on OSX El Capitan (10.11.6) with Boost 1.64.0
On Linux, the same code works fine.

For confirmation and reproduction, I provide a self-contained code that displays the output of three tests of file existence. 
It expects a pathname as its first (and only) argument.

Here are the outputs that it gives me on Linux and OSX (when applied to an existing pathname):

Linux:[[BR]]
reply of boost::filesystem::exists: true[[BR]]
reply of stat_exists:               true[[BR]]
reply of stream_exists:             true[[BR]]

OSX:[[BR]]

reply of stat_exists:               true[[BR]]
reply of stream_exists:             true[[BR]]
