Re: [Boost-users] Numeric_cast from int to float

So, I am still confident that converting integers greater that 2^24 to float using boost::numeric_cast must raise an exception. Has this behavior changed in the newer versions of Boost?

To be more accurate, this would mean testing the value in the numerical cast, as there are no ASM instruction to do this on the usual platforms. The cost that this would induce is probably too high a price to pay. I think the best course of action would be to write your own cast for this specific use.
