Concatenates the current path and the argument

1-7) Appends path(other).native() to the pathname stored in *this in the native format. This directly manipulates the value of native() and may not be portable between operating systems.
8) Same as return *this += path(first, last)

Parameters

p - path to append
str - string or string view to append
ptr - pointer to the beginning of a null-terminated string to append
x - single character to append
source - std::basic_string, std::basic_string_view, 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 InputIterators that specify a multicharacter sequence that represents a path name
Type requirements
-
InputIt must meet the requirements of InputIterator.
-
The value type of InputIt must be one of the encoded character types (char, wchar_t, char16_t and char32_t)
-
CharT must be one of the encoded character types (char, wchar_t, char16_t and char32_t)

Return value

*this

Exceptions

May throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.


Notes

Unlike with append() or operator/=, additional directory separators are never introduced.

Example

#include <iostream>
#include <filesystem>
namespace fs = std::filesystem;
int main() {
    fs::path p1; // empty path
    p1 += "var"; // does not insert a separator
    std::cout << "\"\" + \"var\" == " << p1 << '\n';
    p1 += "lib"; // does not insert a separator
    std::cout << "\"\" + \"var\" + \"lib\" == " << p1 << '\n';
}

Output:

"" + "var" == "var"
"" + "var" + "lib" == "varlib"
