 #include <iostream>
 namespace fs = std::experimental::filesystem;
 int main()
 {
     std::cout << fs::path("/foo/bar.txt").stem() << '\n'
               << fs::path("/foo/.bar").stem() << '\n';
     for (fs::path p = "foo.bar.baz.tar"; !p.extension().empty(); p = p.stem())
         std::cout << p.extension() << '\n';
 }

Output:
