Removing ..'s in boost filesystem::complete

Question

This should be simple: I'm composing an absolute path with boost filesystem, however it's returning a really ugly path:

D:/Projects/SomeDir/vc10/../resource/plugins/SomeFile.dll

Is there a boost way of automatically handling .'s and ..'s?

All I'm doing is:

boost::filesystem::complete("../resource/plugins/SomeFile.dll")

it's using boost::filesystem2.

Answer 1

boost::filesystem::complete("../resource/plugins/SomeFile.dll").normalize()
