<title>Boost Filesystem Do-list</title>

Do-list</h1>
<ul>
<li>Windows: Some files seem to be poisoned to the point where you can't even
do is_directory() on them without an access error. For example,&nbsp; pagefile.sys. Should directory_iterator ignore these files?<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Windows: //share style paths need more analysis and test cases for system_complete()
and complete(). Also, path_test cases at line 410 need review, correction.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Add a path::swap member function guaranteed not to throw. (Geurt Vos).<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Windows: What happens when a directory_itorator encounters a
wide-character filename? Write a test case.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Add &quot;.&quot; current directory to generic path? Add test cases one
way or the other. Change simple_ls accordingly.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Ask for help porting to other operating systems, such as the Mac, etc.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Finish the probe program, and ask Boost people to run it on various O/S's.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Finish portability guide and checking functions. Get opinions on default, Boost, and other error checks.&nbsp; POSIX?&nbsp;
Windows? Mac?&nbsp; ISO 6990? Document the checking functions.<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>Operations_test line 171 - why only check iterator tag? Why not
Assignable, etc?<br>
&nbsp;</li>
<li>The wrapped fstream functions which return the type of the stream (*this)
would have to be overridden to get the wrapped type (boost::filesystem::ifstream
rather than std::ifstream, for example). But does it matter? Does anyone care?
Will any programs fail?<br>
&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
