13406	Boost 1.65.1 : Boost filesystem error codes for  non existent files seems to be incorrect	sudhanshu.gupta05@…	Beman Dawes	"Boost::filesystem::equivalent() when called on two non-existent files , error codes generated seems to be incorrect.

I am attaching simple test case which calls boost::filesystem::equivalent() on two non-existent files.

#include ""boost/filesystem/operations.hpp""
#include <iostream>
int main() {
    
    boost::filesystem::path path1(""foo"");
    boost::filesystem::path path2(""bar"");
    boost::system::error_code ec;
    if(!boost::filesystem::equivalent(path1,path2,ec)) 
    {
        std::cout<<""error code: "" << ec << std::endl;;
        std::cout<<""error message: "" << ec.message() << std::endl;;

    }
    return 0;
} 

The output of the test case with boost 1.56 is

**********************************************
error code: system:2
error message: No such file or directory
**********************************************



The output of the test case with boost 1.65 is

***********************************************
error code: system:1                                                                                                                                                                                               
error message: Operation not permitted
