Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The example in the standard is wrong, it is implementation-defined whether "//host" is a root-name, or a root-directory followed by a filename. On GNU/Linux and most POSIX systems there is no special treatment for a pathname like "//host" and so our std::filesystem implementation just treats it as a root-directory followed by a filename, i.e. "/" and "host". For Cygwin our implementation should treat that as a root-name, because on Cygwin "//host" is mapped to an SMB share called \\host
