std::experimental::filesystem::path:: append, std::experimental::filesystem::path:: operator/=

From cppreference.com
path & operator / = ( const path & p ) ;
(1) (filesystem TS)
template < class Source >
path & operator / = ( const Source & source ) ;
(2) (filesystem TS)
template < class Source >
path & append ( const Source & source ) ;
(3) (filesystem TS)
template < class InputIt >
path & append ( InputIt first, InputIt last ) ;
(4) (filesystem TS)
1) First, appends the preferred directory separator to this , except if any of the following conditions is true:
* the separator would be redundant ( * this already ends with a separator).
* * this is empty, or adding it would turn a relative path to an absolute path in some other way.
* p is an empty path.
* p. native ( ) begins with a directory separator.
Then, appends p. native ( ) to the pathname maintained by * this .
2,3) Same as (1) , but accepts any std:: basic_string , null-terminated multicharacter string, or an input iterator pointing to a null-terminated multicharacter sequence.
4) Same as (1) , but accepts any iterator pair that designates a multicharacter string.

Parameters

p - pathname to append
source - std:: basic_string , null-terminated multicharacter string, or an input iterator pointing to a null-terminated multicharacter sequence, which represents a path name (either in portable or in native format)
first, last - pair of LegacyInputIterator s that specify a multicharacter sequence that represents a path name
Type requirements
-
InputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyInputIterator .
-
The value type of InputIt must be one of the encoded character types ( char , wchar_t , char16_t and char32_t ).

Return value

* this

Exceptions

May throw filesystem_error on underlying OS API errors or std:: bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.

Example

#include <experimental/filesystem>
#include <iostream>
namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem;
 
int main()
{
    fs::path p1 = "C:";
    p1 /= "Users"; // does not insert a separator
                   // "C:Users" is a relative path in Windows
                   // adding directory separator would turn it to an absolute path
    std::cout << "\"C:\" / \"Users\" == " << p1 << '\n';
    p1 /= "batman"; // inserts fs::path::preferred_separator, '\' on Windows
    std::cout << "\"C:\" / \"Users\" / \"batman\" == " << p1 << '\n';
}

Possible output:

"C:" / "Users" == "C:Users"
"C:" / "Users" / "batman" == "C:Users\batman"
