Re: [boost] filesystem::is_directory return true when exception is disabled and this directory does't exist

...

No. It is undefined behavior for boost::throw_exception() to return.

To quote the throw_exception() docs:

Callers of throw_exception are allowed to assume that the function never returns; therefore, if the user-defined throw_exception returns, the behavior is undefined.

It is definitely not a bug. However you might want to consider - purely as a QoI issue, of course - to return 'false' instead of 'true' when throw_exception returns. ;-)

It's very strange. So, does it mean the exception must be enabled if the throw_exception is used ?
