How do I recursively create a folder in Win32?

Question

I\'m trying to create a function that takes the name of a directory (C:\\foo\\bar, or ..\\foo\\bar\\..\\baz, or \\\\someserver\\foo\\bar

With C++17, this can be done quite easily using std::filesystem::create_directories().

Example:

#include 
...

const char* path = "C:\\foo\\bar";
std::filesystem::create_directories(path);
