2932	iostreams file_descriptor: possible throw of exception in call to destructor	Robert Hunger <rhunger@…>	Jonathan Turkanis	"The implementation ""struct file_descriptor_impl"" used by ""class file_descriptor"" possibly throws an exception in its destructor.

The following code snippets come from:
[http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/iostreams/src/file_descriptor.cpp]

line 77:
{{{
file_descriptor_impl::~file_descriptor_impl() 
{ if (flags_ & close_on_exit) close(); }
}}}

line 194:
{{{
void file_descriptor_impl::close()
...
        if (!success)
            throw_system_failure(""failed closing file"");
...
}}}

IMHO throwing exceptions in destructors should be avoided."	Bugs	closed	Boost 1.40.0	iostreams	Boost 1.41.0	Showstopper	fixed		rhunger@… gareth.sylvester-bradley@…
