C++ – boost::filesystem::path for unicode file paths

boost-filesystemcpath

Is there a way to use boost::filesystem::path with unicode file paths?
In particular I'd like to use it with std::wstring instead of std::string.

I'm working on the windows platform and I need to sometimes process a filepath that has a unicode char in it.

Looking at the header file, I see a wpath that's templated with std::wstring.

>>> import os
>>> os.path.abspath("mydir/myfile.txt")
'C:/example/cwd/mydir/myfile.txt'

Also works if it is already an absolute path:

>>> import os
>>> os.path.abspath("C:/example/cwd/mydir/myfile.txt")
'C:/example/cwd/mydir/myfile.txt'

in your constructor: String (std::string s) should be String (const std::string& s)
