I suspected boost because of the following comment > in boost/libs/filesystem/src/path_posix_windows.cpp: > > // POSIX & Windows cases: "", "/", "/foo", "foo", "foo/bar" > // Windows only cases: "c:", "c:/", "c:foo", "c:/foo", > // "prn:", "//share", "//share/", "//share/foo" Which is wrong, because POSIX allows implementations to treat //share specially, which cygwin does. In other words, //share is not Windows only. Whether or not //share is interpreted as a Windows UNC path or as some other meaning doesn't matter; what matters is that it is wrong for ANY application claiming POSIX compatibility to flatten //share to /share, because POSIX allows these two to be different. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
