possible handle leak in posix implementation copy_file_api

Reported by: alexey.kutumov@… Owned by: Beman Dawes
Milestone: Boost 1.48.0 Component: filesystem
Version: Boost 1.47.0 Severity: Problem
Keywords: filesystem copy_file Cc:

Description

There is possible handle leak in POSIX implementation of function copy_file_api. 

...
    if ((infile = ::open(from_p.c_str(), O_RDONLY))< 0)
      { return false; }

    struct stat from_stat;
    if (::stat(from_p.c_str(), &from_stat)!= 0)
      { return false; }
...

if ::stat failed, then function exits without closing infile handle.

This problem exists both in v3 and v2 implementations of filesystem. Also this problem exists in previous releases.
