Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #12306: boost::filesystem::remove_all(const path& p, system::error_code& ec) throws while it shouldn't https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12306 <p> This issue has been reported 4y ago (boost 1.50.0) but it's still here. </p> <p> 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! </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12306 Trac 1.4.3 viboes Fri, 19 Aug 2016 21:19:16 GMT component changed; owner set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12306#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12306#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>owner</strong> set to <span class="trac-author">Beman Dawes</span> </li> <li><strong>component</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">None</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">filesystem</span> </li> </ul> Ticket florian jacomme <florian@…> Sun, 04 Sep 2016 09:18:16 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12306#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/12306#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> same as <a class="new ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7303" title="#7303: Feature Requests: XML Serialization - Skip/Ignore unexpected data.
