boost :: filesystem v3 - 正确的路径大小写

Question

Hi Is there an efficient way of correct the case of an given windows path?

fs::path dir("c:/winDOWS"); --> C:/Windows?

(without Windows-API!)

Answer 1

Without the windows api it's impossible to know that the correct case is. The common windows filesystems are case-insensitive and case preserving.

The windows api way to do this is GetFullPathName

Answer 2

Since I came here looking for the same thing I figured I would spare others a google.

An answer can be found in this stackoverflow thread .

It is sadly not how to do it with boost instead using the Windows API. But at least it works which the API mentioned above does not.
