I'll JIRA for the C++ client to default to the empty string, unless someone knows why "/" is a reasonable default for a virtual host name.
Once upon a time the AMQP spec stated that all virtual hosts had to start with a '/' and that all brokers should support '/' (the default) and '/sandbox' (for conformance testing!).
That is by way of background explanation only and is no longer the case. I agree that the empty string is better.
