Re: [Boost-users] exceptions from boost::filesystem not catchable on os/x 10.6.8 boost-1.47.0

-----Original Message-----

any ideas?

According to the documentation boost::filesystem::exists returns a bool to indicate if the path exists, an exception is thrown if something ... exceptional ... happens. ;-)

From the documentation:

bool exists(const path& p); bool exists(const path& p, system::error_code& ec); Returns: exists(status(p)) or exists(status(p, ec)), respectively. Throws: filesystem_error; overload with error_code& throws nothing. -- Best regards, Martin Dyring-Andersen
