[llvm-dev] [libcxx] Unimplemented path functions inquiry

[Chris Tetreault via llvm-dev]

I don’t know of any plans to implement this functionality, but I agree that the least we can do is provide a function body that asserts or calls something like report_fatal_error.

Thanks,
                Chris Tetreault

Hi,

I hope this email finds you well. I have an inquiry about the following unimplemented functions declared in `libcxx/include/filesystem`:






// TODO Implement locale conversions.

template
<class
_Source,
class = _EnableIfPathable<_Source,
void> >





path(const _Source& __src,
const locale& __loc, format = format::auto_format);




template
<class
_InputIt>




path(_InputIt __first, _InputIt _last,
const locale& __loc,




format = format::auto_format);




In particular, there is a TODO (introduced in the following commit 998a5c88312066fcc2b2de1358edc76587611354) that says "Implement locale conversions". Since these functions are not implemented, they are causing a link time error on z/OS. Hence, is there a plan to implement them? Or is there a way to cause compiler time errors if those functions are used? If not, should we leave it as is or provide a definition that asserts (to be more user friendly)?.

Best regards,
Muiez
