I would like to merge Boost.Filesystem develop to master: https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/compare/master...develop Break down by commits: https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/d13461be0f8fafe2d63b87141bcd14... https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/ecbab750b2c49b3d5805dbd3f4c285... https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/0d413a5e4fbdb6c7c1ac9b54ae5298... In v4, path appends (operator/, operator/=, path::append) now recognize root name and root directory in the appended paths and behave closer to C++17. v3 path appends are unchanged. https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/cc763cb48efea3dac897752d403d5b... absolute() reworked to account for the v4 path appends change. It also fixes incorrect behavior for v3, when the input path was already absolute - the old implementation used to add a root name from the base path in this case. https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/37bfbbb376caac04e222af65baa1ed... Updated canonical/weakly_canonical to also accommodate changed v4 path appends. https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/0aee13c162ccfe88fa3415791bd312... This completes v4 path appends change by adding a trailing separator when the appended path is empty, like C++17. https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/0307f58a8b2176f6709d3d7df33924... Update v4 path::lexically_normal to avoid appending the trailing dot filename when the original path ends with a separator. This complements the earlier change in v4 path::filename and path::iterator (which is already in master) to omit the trailing dot and also matches C++17. Also, for v3 and v4 the directory separators in the root name are now converted to preferred separators. This matches C++17 and improves behavior wrt. UNC paths on Windows. https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/commit/7fc42097cf7977fb4d5b908c4a3090... Fixes potential linking errors in case if the compiler is set to preserve unused inline functions. This was reported in https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/issues/215. For clarity, Boost.Filesystem v3 is currently the default and v4 is the new (experimental) version that aims for better compatibility with C++17. All changes have passed the CI tests.
