--- Comment #7 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Steffen Schuemann from comment #6) > And just for the fun of it, I used some time to double check the source of > libc++ and compiled myself a clang-8 from HEAD to run my tests with that one > too, and it is just the other way around: create_directories fails/throws > when a file with that name exists, and create_directory doesn't. :-) Ha! > In the end, I vote for consistency, either the more useful way with the > postcondition, or the fixed way without.

Once the committee finishes discussing it and decides to either revisit the DR, or reconfirm it's definitely what we want, then I'll change libstdc++.
