Deviation from the standard

d0nc1h0t opened this issue · 1 comments

The current version does not support auto-conversion of different types of characters (char, char16_t, char32_t, wchar_t) in accordance with the standard. But now they have also banned writing their own converters via path_traits::is_convertible_to_path_source, the verification of which was removed on the constructor of the path class. Construction is allowed only from native strings. The way of development of the library is absolutely incomprehensible.

The conversion of char and wchar_t is supported in path constructors, including std::string and various other string types. I'm not sure what you're referring to.

char16_t and char32_t are not supported yet, this is already reported in #86.

If you have a specific problem, please report it with a reproducer.
