How to get current application path in C++?

In Windows, it is GetCurrentDirectory.

AFAIK, the C++ language itself doesn't provide such functionality. And neither does any of the C runtime libraries (someone correct me if I am wrong). You have to use the underlying OS's (or any runtime environment's) APIs to achieve that. For Windows, Superman's reply holds.

What about getcwd() / _getcwd()? Declared in direct.h or unistd.h for Unix But for question the OP: GetModuleFileName() returns the fully qualified path of the application.

If you are targeting different platforms, I heartily recommend to use boost::filesystem which abstracts this functionality in a very comfortable manner. If only one platform is targeted and this platform is windows, use designated Microsoft frameworks instead of this low level APIs.
