Hi,
I try to do a cross-platform source code and I have this code.
I compiled boost 1.35 in universal binaries on Mac OS 10.5.4 with intel platform (IMAC core 2 duo 3Ghz)
The same code works on linux (Ubuntu 8.0.4 and debian) and windows platforms but on Mac OS 10.5 I have an exception in boost's libraries.
We compile on universal binaries with -fexceptions options of g++ 4.0.1 (Apple).
This is my code:
<code>
boost::filesystem::wpath unicode(L"abcdef\u0110");
boost::filesystem::ofstream file(unicode.string()); // throws Invalid Argument on Mac
file << "abcdef" << endl;
file.close();
<endcode/>
If I do this, it works:
<code>
boost::filesystem::path utf8("abcdef\xC4\x90"); // \xC4\x90 == \u0110
boost::filesystem::ofstream file(utf8.string()); // works ok
file << "abcdef" << endl;
file.close();
<endcode/>
When the ofstream is created, this function is executed and crashes when I use Unicode parameters :
<code>
unicode.external_file_string(); // throws
uncaught exception of type boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error
