Re: [Boost-users] lexical_cast question

It works now for pointers too, but now I have the problem with the char type. First I have made a specialization for this type. Is it here also possible to make only one specialization or have I to provide both for pointer and value?

I wonder what your Validator validates? You seem to be mixing values and pointers which is not a good idea. BTW, http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/conversion/lexical_cast.htm#change... "The previous version of lexical_cast allowed unsafe and meaningless conversions to pointers. The current version now throws a bad_lexical_cast for conversions to pointers: lexical_cast("Goodbye, World") now throws an exception instead of causing undefined behavior." -- Alexander
