boost::filesystem::remove_all(const path& p, system::error_code& ec) throws while it shouldn't

Reported by: christophe.calmejane@… Owned by: Beman Dawes

Version: Boost 1.59.0 Severity: Problem

Description

This issue has been reported 4y ago (boost 1.50.0) but it's still here.

But I have an easier way to reproduce it. On a windows OS (I used win 8.1), create a folder somewhere, and use the windows properties on it to deny all access to it for you (FullAccess:Deny). Now, try to boost::filesystem::remove_all(folderPath, ec) on it. It will throw!
