|---|
| 4 | Do-list</h1> |
|---|
| 5 | <ul> |
|---|
| 6 | <li>Windows: Some files seem to be poisoned to the point where you can't even |
|---|
| 7 | do is_directory() on them without an access error. For example, pagefile.sys. Should directory_iterator ignore these files?<br> |
|---|
| 8 | </li> |
|---|
| 9 | <li>Windows: //share style paths need more analysis and test cases for system_complete() |
|---|
| 10 | and complete(). Also, path_test cases at line 410 need review, correction.<br> |
|---|
| 11 | </li> |
|---|
| 12 | <li>Add a path::swap member function guaranteed not to throw. (Geurt Vos).<br> |
|---|
| 13 | </li> |
|---|
| 14 | <li>Windows: What happens when a directory_itorator encounters a |
|---|
| 15 | wide-character filename? Write a test case.</li> |
|---|
| 16 | </ul> |
|---|
| 17 | <ul> |
|---|
| 18 | <li>Add "." current directory to generic path? Add test cases one |
|---|
| 19 | way or the other. Change simple_ls accordingly.<br> |
|---|
| 20 | </li> |
|---|
| 21 | <li>Ask for help porting to other operating systems, such as the Mac, etc.</li> |
|---|
| 22 | </ul> |
|---|
| 23 | <ul> |
|---|
| 24 | <li>Finish the probe program, and ask Boost people to run it on various O/S's.<br> |
|---|
| 25 | </li> |
|---|
| 26 | <li>Finish portability guide and checking functions. Get opinions on default, Boost, and other error checks. POSIX? |
|---|
| 27 | Windows? Mac? ISO 6990? Document the checking functions.<br> |
|---|
| 28 | </li> |
|---|
| 29 | <li>Operations_test line 171 - why only check iterator tag? Why not |
|---|
| 30 | Assignable, etc?<br> |
|---|
| 31 | </li> |
|---|
| 32 | <li>The wrapped fstream functions which return the type of the stream (*this) |
|---|
| 33 | would have to be overridden to get the wrapped type (boost::filesystem::ifstream |
|---|
| 34 | rather than std::ifstream, for example). But does it matter? Does anyone care? |
|---|
| 35 | Will any programs fail?<br> |
|---|
