Milestone:  To Be Determined                                     |   Component:  filesystem
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0                                         |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:  exception, directory_iterator_construct, error_code  |  
-----------------------------------------------------------------+----------
 Function remove_all_aux() calls non-exception safe fs::directory_iterator
 constructor (without argument of system::error_code& type).

 For example, in case of free file descriptors lack in filesystem this
 constructor can throw an exception "Too many open files".

 The better way is to use exception-safe overload of fs::directory_iterator
 constructor (with argument of system::error_code& type).

 Possible fix is in attachment.

 The issue is actual for any version from 1.47 to 1.50
