Description Roman 2016-03-17 12:55:32 UTC 
DirEntry on Windows has most methods nothrow, pure and const, while on Posix they can throw and are mutable.

So when one developed application on Windows they can get unexpected problems on Posix, e.g. const(DirEntry) will not compile, nothrow functions will not compile and code will occasionally throw.
