Hi!
I'm working on a project that has to be portable (Windows, Linux, Unix (IDE
is VisualC++) ). What I need is the list of files in a certain directory
(+subdirs), but I also need to know some file attributes like size and 'date
of last change'.
Anybody knows a lib that can do this for me?
Thanks in advance

There was a beta library on Boost ( http://www.boost.org ) . I dunno its
state. If all else fails you might be able to use POSIX (and limit a loads
of things :-( ).

I've used the boost filesystem library on both Windows and Linux in
applications, and it seems to work nicely.

I checked out boost.org myself too, and it says there that it only supports
POSIX or Windows-like OSes.
So, I am not really sure if this includes Linux and UNIX?
If you are using it already meanwhile, you may better stick to it.
If not, you can try my 'directory-scan' classes which work for sure on
Windows, Solaris and AIX.
It was developped with JBuilder but does not use much JBuilder-specific
stuff, so it should not be too complicated to convert it for Visual C++.

POSIX is an interface standard for UNIX-like operating systems.
LINUX and UNIX should not have a problem with it. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

The term "mock filesystem" refers to code allowing unit
or acceptance tests to create, read and write, and manipulate
in other ways "virtual" files, without any actual disk
access. Everything is held in memory and therefore fast,
without risk of damaging real files, and with none of the
messiness of leftover files after testing.

I have a quite big class, which I want to use on UNIX-like systems and on

So need to define and include different libraries and functions for both
OS-types. How can I do this using e.g. compiler #define's...
