Is it any good and how the fuck do I use it?
Redpill me on std::filesystem

does anyone else think "sexually transmitted disease" any time they read std::?
Camden James
It's good, because it's not external.
What.
Easton Morgan
It's derived from boostshit so it's pretty awful, you're better off using your platforms APIs instead.
Christian Morales
No? The fuck wrng with you
Wait so it actually works with different OS's and filesystem's?
Anthony Smith
>c++
Stopped reading there
Levi Gutierrez
Okay, how do I use a portable platform-independent filesystem iterator in C?
Nathaniel Myers
Not him but IIRC the stuff in dirent.h can handle that, most platforms should have it since it was included in C98 or some shit (with the exception of Winblows of course but there's tons of homemade equivalents for that)
Kayden Perry
I don't like naked pointers and structs tho, I need iterators, like actual .begin() and .end() for my code.
Nicholas Morgan
Well the C world doesn't really work with stuff like that, for C++ there's std::filesystem like OP mentioned but like someone said that all came from boost so it can be convoluted as fuck sometimes
