Gábor Gyimesi updated MINIFICPP-1636:
-------------------------------------
Description:
C++17 support allows us to use std::filesystem instead of the currently
equivalent boost library calls. We should also investigate where
std::filesystem could be used instead of a platform specific implementations.
Note: std::filesystem::last_write_time returns std::filesystem::file_time_type
which uses a platform dependent clock. This makes it hard to replace the
previous implementation as the time since epoch can be different in two
systems, the conversion to time_t can be difficult and also out usage of time
strings may be problematic. C++20 standardizes the
std::filesystem::file_time_type with std::chrono::file_clock which solves these
problems, so it may be better to implement this when we have full C++20 support.
