4065	Boost Filesystem lexicographic path comparison inconsistent	dbetz@…	Beman Dawes	"I am using boost svn number 60558. Briefly, paths ""/foo/"" and ""/foo/."" are not <, >, or ==:

#include <iostream>

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
	boost::filesystem::path p(""/foo/"");
	boost::filesystem::path q(""/foo/."");
	if (p<q)
		std::cerr << p << "" < "" << q << std::endl;
	else if (p==q)
		std::cerr << p << "" == "" << q << std::endl;
	else if (p>q)
		std::cerr << p << "" > "" << q << std::endl;
	else
		std::cerr << p << "" ? "" << q << std::endl;
}

gives the following output:

/foo/ ? /foo/.
