Ha, figured it out, there is a way:
std::vector<fs::path> traverse_if_directory(fs::path& f) {
std::vector<fs::path> result;
boost::system::error_code ec;
if (fs::is_directory(f)) {
for (
fs::recursive_directory_iterator it(f, ec), eit;
it != eit;
it.increment(ec)
) {
if (ec) {
it.pop();
continue;
}
if (!fs::is_directory(it->path())) {
result.push_back(it->path());
}
}
}
else {
result.push_back(f);
}
return result;
}
There is a non-throwing overload which accepts an output parameter of type boost::system::error_code
, so I can just check after each increment if there were any error.
