This follows other Boost libraries (in particular, Boost.System) in
treating Cygwin as a POSIX platform rather than Windows. This is
a breaking change, but apparently downstream Boost.Filesystem packages
on Cygwin are patched to the same effect.
As part of this change, AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT is made an optional requirement
to enable POSIX *at APIs. This flag is not POSIX-standard and is not
supported on Cygwin, while *at APIs are.
* Make the library modular usable.
* Use searched-lib targets for external/OS/Windows libraries to avoid trying to refer to mangled names for them. And hence failing to find them.
* Use the OS temp dir for creating test dir to avoid putting dirs in random location based on where one runs tests from.
* Switch to library requirements instead of source. As source puts extra source in install targets.
* Updated dependencies.
* Add missing NO_LIB usage requirements.
* Add missing import-search for cconfig/predef checks.
* Add requires-b2 check to top-level build file.
* Bump B2 require to 5.2
* Change all <source> references to <library>.
* Update copyright dates.
* Move inter-lib dependencies to a project variable and into the build targets.
* Split b2 dependencies into public and private.
* Undo temp dir for test change.
* Make winapi dep target-os specific. And remove direct atomic dep as it is already handled by conditional rule.
* Remove bug targets from all build as that's not a regular project.
In v3, equivaluent would successfully return false if one of the paths
existed and the other one didn't. v4 now fails in this case, similar
to std::filesystem.
This overload takes filesystem::path as its first argument to support
wide character paths on Windows. Other than this, the overload is
equivalent to std::fopen.
This fixes hard compilation error when the passed type is not an iterator
at all. As a result, path constructors from iterators are no longer
selected by the compiler in overload resolution in users' code, when
the caller is passing an initializer list with a pair of non-iterator
elements. Added a test for this fix.
Also, use integral_constant to implement boolean type traits.
Fixes https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/issues/287.
Path comparison operators that accept arbitrary path source types now require
the other argument to be exactly path. This prevents the compiler from picking
those operators when the other argument is convertible to path. This can happen
even when neither of the arguments are actually paths, e.g. when the
comparison operators are brought into the current scope by a using directive.
Fixes https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/issues/285.
Reworked remove() operation to separate POSIX and Windows implementations.
On Windows, if the file to be removed is read-only, try to reset the read-only
attribute before deleting the file. If deleting fails (other than because the
file is already deleted), try to restore the read-only attribute.
As a side effect, we were able to remove an implementation detail value from
the file_type enum that was used by the old remove() implementation.
Added a test for remove() on a read-only file on Windows. Also added tests
for remove_all(), including for cases with symlinks, hardlinks and read-only
files.
Also, corrected mklink /J argument in tests. The command accepts /j (lowercase)
to the same effect, but the formal help lists /J (uppercase) to create junctions.
Reported in https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/issues/216.
Boost.Filesystem v4 will contain breaking changes from v3 that are required
for better compatibility with C++17 std::filesystem. It will also remove
the deprecated features of v3.
Updated docs to reflect the differences between v3 and v4. Updated tests
to verify both v3 and v4 where the differences are present.
Instead of enabling/disabling the test compilation, define a macro when
mklink shell command is detected to be available. Test this macro
in all tests that use this command to create junctions and symlinks
on Windows.
Also, renamed reparce_tag_file_placeholder.cpp test to fix a spelling
error.
When the source path is not absolute and copy_options::create_symlinks is
specified, deduce the relative path from the target location to the source
file to create a symlink. This allows to copy to a path that is not the current
path.
Also, added absolute overloads taking error_code argyment.
Also, when current_path() is used as a default argument to other operations,
and the operation also accepts error_code, use current_path(ec) to report
errors through the error code rather than throwing an exception.
Also, added a test for copy operation.
For some unknown reason, Windows 8.1 system shell returns error code 1 when
invoking mklink to test if it exists. To work around this we now analyze
output of the command in the Jamfile. As an added bonus, the test is not
compiled when mklink is not supported.
