In short: when a boost::filesystem::path is used directly to retrieve a path parameter, if the path has a whitespace -- regardless of whether / or \ is used, or the whitespace is escaped, or the path is double-quoted -- a parsing error occurs.

The current workaround is to use string and then convert that to boost::filesystem::path using the = operator of the path class, however this looks more of a ""bug"" in program_options rather than new feature in lexical_cast module since in program_options lexical casting of string to path is obviously failing and should not have been considered.",Bugs,new,To Be Determined,program_options,Boost 1.53.0,Problem,,"path, empty space, program_options",mail@…
