path iterator appends / instead of \ on windows

[Sachin Garg <schngrg@…>]

In boost v1.47, filesystem\v\src\path.cpp, inside function m_path_iterator_increment, on line line 654,

It should be:

it.m_element.m_pathname = preferred_separator;

Instead of

it.m_element.m_pathname = separator;

Reason: In below sample code

boost::filesystem::path new_path; for (fs::path::iterator i=path.begin();i!=path.end();i++) {

new_path/=(*i);

On windows when iterating a path using above code, line 654 incorrectly appends / instead of \ after drive letter.

For example,

D:\path\file

Becomes,

D:/path\file

File path is for v3: filesystem\v3\src\path.cpp

The code is correct as written. Iteration returns the generic format, as this is required for comparison to work correctly.

The reference documentation will been corrected to reflect this, and the source code has been annotated.

The path_test code has also been updated and annotated.

Thanks,
