5653	recursive_directory_iterator(error_code) can still throw filesystem_error	Geurt Vos <geurt.vos@…>	Beman Dawes	"internally recursive_directory_iterator uses other filesystem facilities (such as is_directory and is_symlink) without passing the system::error_code argument. If they fail, they will throw filesystem_error.

Example on Linux (see ticket #5652):

int main()
{
    try {
        error_code ec;
        for (recursive_directory_iterator i(""."", ec); i != recursive_directory_iterator(); ++i) ;
    }
    catch (const std::exception& e) {
        std::cout << "">> "" << e.what() << std::endl;
    }
}

$ ln -s mybadlink mybadlink
$ ./test
>> boost::filesystem::status: Too many levels of symbolic links: ""./mybadlink""
