If an exception occurres inside the scandir function implementation of a FilesystemEntry class, rglob crashes
Looking at the pathlib implementation of rglob it calls glob and at somepoint scandir() is called.
suppose for whatever reason scandir fails (i.e. a malformed inode, mft record, etc) should this loop stop?
Another way would be to use rglob not inside a for loop but using the next() method and checking for exceptions this way something akin to:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11366064/handle-an-exception-thrown-in-a-generator
this seems a bit ugly tho.
This pr ensures that scandir will handle the exception and will return an empty generator allowing rglob to continue. Ideally some logging should be here as aswell as a warning.
This is also a design change, as whether rglob should continue or not is a design choice. So just let me know if this is the expected behaviour of rglob
