5317,"Path filename(), stem(), and extension() problems",Beman Dawes,Beman Dawes,"Problem: filename() is specified in terms of *--end(), but path_test.cpp does not actually test this. Since the actual implementation of filename() does not use iteration, such a test should be performed.

Resolution: Add something like BOOST_TEST_EQ(p.filename(), *--p.end()); to the decomposition tests.

Problem: stem() + extension() should == filename(), but path_test.cpp does not actually test this.

Resolution: Add something like BOOST_TEST_EQ(p.filename(), path(p.stem().native() + p.extension().native()));); to the decomposition tests.

Problem: path("".foo"") should be a stem, not an extension.

Resolution: Fix specification, implementation, and add test cases.

Problem: Design of Path iterator, and as a consequence, filename(), is too inventive in adding ""."" KISS. Note that POSIX has similar problems. POSIX dirname() and basename() are not good models; they (1) modify their arguments, and (2) return counter-intuitive results. basename(""/foo/"") returns ""foo"", not """" or "".""

Resolution: Simplify specification, change implementation and test cases accordingly.
