[filesystem] missing documentation or bad links

Reported by: ryan.gallagher@… Owned by:
Milestone: Boost 1.34.1 Component: filesystem
Version: Boost 1.34.0 Severity: Showstopper
Keywords: documentation Cc:

Description

I'm going through the filesystem docs in order to understand the changes and migrate existing code to 1.34.0. However, some of the doc's seem to be missing from both my install and online sources making this task much more difficult. (Specifically I require information on the elimination of filesystem_error::error().) Perhaps the links are just wrong (found on i18n page).

I now see how to deal with system_error() instead of the old error() call, but there is a small error in the docs:

synopsis: errno_type lookup_errno(system_error_type code);

Other operations functions: errno_type to_errno( system_error_type code );

The latter is incorrect and should be changed to lookup_errno.

The unit testing examples have bad links to the actual source code. For example, click on the source link from this page:

http://www.boost.org/libs/test/doc/examples/unit_test_example4.html

The locally installed documentation also fails (gentoo amd64).
