when i use std.file.dirEntries it fail when scanning the home directory(linux)
because thay are some special files e.g:
Failed to stat file `./.pulse/b86d160eca2ebd0f61847c4600000013-runtime'

it will be good to have a way to list both files an dir in any case ...



import std.file;
import std.algorithm;
import std.stdio;
import std.path;
import std.array;

void main(){
    DirEntry[] dFiles = array( dirEntries( ".", SpanMode.depth ).filter!( ( a )
=>  a.name.extension == ".d"  ) );
    foreach( d; dFiles )
        writeln( d );
}

How to create such a special file, in order to reproduce the problem?

The special file as an broken symlink. The Exception is thrown because stat return an error code in that case.

With this pull request: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1142

I've changed ensureStatDone so it also tries lstat if stat fails as to support broken symlinks in DirEntry.
