This causes ambiguities in users' code where the previously added conversion
from user-defined types that have a conversion to one of the path source
types:
struct my_class
{
operator std::string() const;
};
std::string to_string(std::string const&);
std::string to_string(boost::filesystem::path const&);
to_string(my_class());
The above call is ambiguous as the conversion operator in my_class and
a converting constructor in boost::filesystem::path from my_class are
both available and have equivalent ranks.
Removing the conversion constructors from boost::filesystem::path
means users will have to explicitly cast their types to one of the
path source types before constructing path.
In order to preserve backward compatibility with operator== and operator!=
for paths that also accepted source types (path::string_type,
const path::value_type*), we have to update path::compare and comparison
operators to accept types that are convertible to source types.
Fixes https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/issues/273.
