Hello all, I was writing a simple application to enumerate files sorted on their size. I used the recursive_directory_iterator for this task. However on my Windows XP machine the directory iteration stops because of a throwing constructor. It is easy reproducable, by creating a directory with contents and remove all security attributes (except for the system account, leave there all permissions enabled) and use that directory for iteration, i.e. my c:\temp\bla directory contained 1 file and I removed the security attributes for the directory Bla. Tracing thru the source code of Boost.FileSystem the directory is opened with a '::FindFirstFileA' call which returns an 'INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE', resulting in a throw. This stops further iteration of the directory. Is there a way to work around this?
