Re: [Boost-users] [lexical_cast] How is the degenerate case handled?

Good point. I hope the answer is: - short circuited; - type need not to be streamable.

If you use lexical_cast to cast between identical types, eg. lexical_cast< int >( 4 ); does it go through all the machinery of streaming out and back, or does it short circuit? In those circumstances, does the type need to be streamable? Thanks, Rob.
