I'm wondering: Does Boost have a class like Microsoft's SafeInt? (Portable, of course.)

If not: Does anyone have some good guidelines on how to make code (on Linux) integer overflow safe? (Here: Safe == exception generating.) I'm thinking specialized compilers, etc.

So the answer to my first question is that there is no SafeInt-like class in Boost? About the link to numeric_cast: But that doesn't catch cases where -e.g.- an integer is incremented beyond its limit (overflowing), right? -- Regards, Troels Arvin <troels@arvin.dk> http://troels.arvin.dk/
