https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2439 <p> Although the filesystem basic_path&lt;&gt; template can take a string type as the first template parameter, the second template parameter, which is the basic_path_traits, needs a specific hardcoded supplied trait. This means that the basic_path can not be directly instantiated by choosing just a string type. This suggestion is that the filesystem basic_path_traits be a template itself which takes a string type. This would allow the basic_path to be instantiated based solely on a string type. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2439 Trac 1.4.3 anonymous Tue, 28 Oct 2008 07:27:18 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2439#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/2439#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> This need will be addressed by Filesystem Version 3, which will ship with Boost 1.44. </p> <p> Thanks, </p> <p> --Beman </p> Ticket
