question is basically as stated in the title.

I am using an API that needs forward slashes regardless of OS (don't shoot the messenger, I don't think this is good practice either). Is there a way to force boost::filesystem::path's member function make_preferred() always use forward slashes as default even on a windows machine?

If not, is there a more efficient method than just straight up replacing every \\ with /?

    Does this answer your question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26178714/what-is-the-difference-between-pathstring-and-pathgeneric-string-in-boos? – IlCapitano Jun 01 '20 at 01:17
  • This is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much! Although I don't like the answer's tone. A good teacher doesn't tersely respond to questions "it's in the book," although that phrase might appear in a good answer. There's too much documentation out there to expect every developer to grasp all of it. – Mietzsche81 Jun 01 '20 at 01:22
