handle double '/' in the boost::filesystem

[rsrus]

Hi.

Sometimes I make some path by hand. For example

  std::string str = "./";
  //... some code ....
  std::string str2 = str + "/path/to/file";

The result is ".//path/to/file". If I try to make path
from it:

   boost::filesystem::path fs_path2(str2, fs::native);

I got exception. Is it possible to correct function

   path::m_path_append

to handle this situation (double/triple/... separator
in the middle of string)?

Can't assign this to Beman until he logs into Trac once.

This is an old issue that evaporated when Boost.Filesystem eliminated the checking on construction, so I closing the ticket.

Note, incidentally, that multiple backslashes are valid in POSIX and other operating systems.
