Hello all!
Is there any way to remove a directory using boost::filesystem? remove and
remove_all throw an exception. Remove docs reference a POSIX remove(). There
is written:
[quote]
If path does not name a directory, remove(path) shall be equivalent to
unlink(path).
If path names a directory, remove(path) shall be equivalent to rmdir(path).
[/quote]
Unfortunately remove does not behave so (on WinXP and Visual C++ 8).
One more issue: the link to the POSIX remove() doc points to link() and not
remove.
With Kind Regards,
Ovanes
