Is this related to #8352 Boost-filesystem std::runtime_error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid failure on OpenBSD?

Thu, 29 May 2014 12:51:01 GMT

Seems to be related to this on FreeBSD with LC_ALL!=C, boost-1_55_0

test.cpp:

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
int main() {
  const char *c = "/tmp/file";
  boost::filesystem::path path(c,c+4);
  return 0;
}

Backtrace:

status new → assigned

Just to be sure, does this also fail:

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

int main() {

boost::filesystem::path path("/tmp");

return 0;

}

Thanks,

No, this case passed successful on the same system.

Fixed for 1.57. Note that the fix was not in 1.57 beta 1, but should be in the final release.
