IIRC it defines winstl::path as winstl::basic_path
, so it depends... - Adi Shavit (17/51) Nov 08 2010 So let me see if I get you correctly:
- Matt Wilson (3/22) Nov 08 2010 Yuck! That's not good.
- Matt Wilson (4/62) Nov 21 2010 This is now done as you suggest.
Hi, I'm using platformstl::path on MinGW on Windows (via the Qt Creator IDE). It redirects to using winstl::path. However, it seems to define path to use wide-char/Unicode encoding by default (for the file names for example). How can I change this default? As a workaround I changed to explicitly using winstl::path_a, but this is not portable to Unix/Linux. Please advise, Thanks, Adi

IIRC it defines winstl::path as winstl::basic_path<TCHAR>, so it depends on the defin. of UNICODE. Checking now ... yes, that's right. typedef basic_path<TCHAR, filesystem_traits<TCHAR> > path; unixstl::path is defined as char, since the definition of UNICODE is not a done practice on UNIX. (Or if it is, that's a new one on me.) I recognise that this is a little odd, but it was the best choice I could come up with. Have an open ear to other ideas ...

So let me see if I get you correctly: 1. I want to use platformstl (and not winstl) for portability (to Linux). 2. I want to always work with chars 3. There seems to be no platformstl::path_a I ended up doing this: #ifdef UNICODE #undef UNICODE #include "3rdParty/stlsoft-1.9.101/include/platformstl/filesystem/path.hpp" #define UNICODE #endif and use platformstl::path Is this the right approach? Suggestion: If platformstl::path_a was available it would have been simpler...
