[Boost-users] filesystem: create_directory unexpected exception

Platform: Windows XP Pro Boost version: 1.38 1.39 (BoostPro binary release) try { boost::filesystem::create_directory ("C:\Program Files\hello123"); } catch (const boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error& ) { std::cerr << "Directory creation failed" << std::endl; } The above code crashes if user doesn't have root permission. I assume some exception is being thrown as catch (...) catches whatevers being thrown. The documentation says "Throws: basic_filesystem_error<Path> if Effects fails for any reason other than because the directory already exists." The requested directory "C:\Program Files\hello123" doesn't exist, so I should have caught a boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error. Is this a known issue or am I the only one seeing this? thanks, john
