Bug ID: 69259
Summary: std::experimental::filesystem::copy does not create
symlinks for directories
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libstdc++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: puls@x-fabric.com
Target Milestone: ---
The following test case fails when I try to soft-link the root directory to the
current directory under the name "root".
TEST_CASE("basic filesystem", "[basic]") {
SECTION("symlink") {
copy("/", "root", copy_options::create_symlinks);
REQUIRE(exists("root"));
}
}
The reason is that fs::copy(...) does not handle the case where the "from"
parameter points to a directory, but options is set to
copy_options::create_symlink.
IMO, another section needs to be added at the bottom of the function
else if (is_directory(f) && (is_set(options, copy_options::create_symlink)) {
create_symlink(from, to, ec);
}
Thanks and regards,
Roman
