1) Replaces the contents of * this with a copy of the contents of p .
2) Replaces the contents of * this with p , possibly using move semantics: p is left in valid, but unspecified state.
3) Replaces the contents of * this with a new path value constructed from source as if by overload (4) of the path constructor . Equivalent to assign ( source ) .

Parameters

p - a path to assign
source - a std::basic_string , pointer to a null-terminated character/wide character string, or an input iterator that points to a null-terminated character/wide character sequence. The character type must be one of char , char16_t , char32_t , wchar_t

#include <experimental/filesystem>
namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem;

    p = p / "Temp"; // move assignment
    const wchar_t* wstr = L"D:/猫.txt";
    p = wstr; // assignment from a source
