7307	boost::filesystem::remove_all(dirname,ec) throws on write protected directories	bach@…	Beman Dawes	"Hi there,

according to the documentation, functions with error_code should not throw except if storage cannot be allocated.

The following throws if directory ""bla"" exists but is write protected:

{{{
  string bla(""bla"");
  boost::system::error_code ec;
  boost::filesystem::remove_all(bla,ec);
}}}

The bla directory looks like this:

{{{
ls -l bla
d--------- 2 bach bach     4096 2012-08-30 23:56 bla
}}}

Output of the program is:

''terminate called after throwing an instance of ""boost::filesystem::filesystem_error""
what():  boost::filesystem::directory_iterator::construct: Permission denied: ""bla""
Aborted
''

System: Ubuntu 9.10
Boost: 1.50, looking through change notes for 1.51 I did not see any entries for filesystem which could address this.

Best,
