Re: [Boost-users] [conversion] Using Lexical_cast to convert string to float

The problem is in the standard library. (Tested with msvc 9.0 express--gcc 4.3.0 behaves sensibly). So, Microsoft's implementation is off? It wouldn't be that surprising

ss: true, val: 1.#INF ss: false, val: -9.25596e+061 It looks like the "3.4e350" gets converted to a valid value (for doubles) and the only way to determine if it was out of range is to do a cast on the stream itself. Is this what lexical_cast does internally?
