wifstream/wofstream names

[Ioannis Vranos]

Regarding wifstreams/wofstreams, is it possible to create files (where
applicable) with wchar_t names in standard C++, given that their
equivalent constructors accept a const char * and not a const wchar_t *?


Or are we forced to use system-specific solutions?


Thanks.

Not yet.

Last time I checked, a Filesystem library was considered for TR2. The
proposal is based on Boost.Filesystem, which supports wchar_t names:
