6249,boost::filesystem::path::append should be specialized for boost::filesystem::path::iterator,sairony@…,Beman Dawes,"Currently the following is a no go:

boost::filesystem::path a(""foo/bar""), b(""test/korv"");
a.append( b.begin() + 1, b.end() ); // Expects a == ""foo/bar/korv""

This is because append() is strictly for iterators of string types it would seem. I suggest adding the following specialization ( or something along these lines ):

	template < >
	path& path::append< path::iterator >( path::iterator begin, path::iterator end, const codecvt_type& cvt)
	{ 
		for( ; begin != end ; ++begin )
			*this /= *begin;
		return *this;
	}

I've attached an example of make_relative which uses this functionality.",Bugs,closed,Boost 1.60.0,filesystem,Boost 1.46.1,Problem,fixed,append relative,
