Hi Robert, hi JP,
Well, I knew the fact that boost will not be included in OSG... I was just
talking about "a" Path structure, not "the boost's path structure". :)
I know that's *really* not important comparing to other features that are
currently in dev, but I'm just pointing out the fact that it could be useful to
some people. Question is: are they many? :)
This Path class would:
- Have a "/" and "/=" operators that acts as the "/" in Unix paths (Ex:
projectFullPath / dataPath / "Textures" / "Model1/Something.jpg").
- Handle canonical paths (Ex: transform "a/b/../c" to an unique "a/c").
- Have to_native_file() and to_native_dir() methods to convert the Path
structure to a platform dependent string ("C:\Dir1\File1.jpg" under Windows,
"/Dir1/File1.jpg under linux and so on...).
- Be much safer than using strings.
- Be used for some filesystem related functions (create all directories of a
path, test file/dir existence, directory iterators...).
- And more (See references).
