Comment (by anonymous):

 Any update on when this will be fixed ? I am new to this code so
 apologies if I misunderstood anything.

 remove_all_aux() may have forgotten to pass the error_code argument
 to the constructor to the constructor of directory_iterator().

     if (type == fs::directory_file)  // but not a directory symlink
     {
       for (fs::directory_iterator itr(p);  <<<---- itr(p, ec) instead ?!
             itr != end_dir_itr; ++itr)
       {
