I'd like to do something like: boost::uint16_t b(std::lexical_cast<boost::uint16_t>("xa")); I have no control of the string stream that lexical_cast uses internally, so how could I implement this? P.S.: There are a lot of false statements made about this functionality on the web, some people claim that boost::lexical_cast<> can do the conversion out of the box, but this is not so in my tests.

Long ago I made this change in a vendor drop of boost. It worked well for me then; however, I have replaced all of my string conversions with qi/karma semantics since. I personally think this should be the default behavior in lexical_cast. The diff is from 1.37.0 IIRC but I don't think lexical_cast changes much. hth michael Index: trunk/firmware/vendor/boost/boost/lexical_cast.hpp =================================================================== --- trunk/firmware/vendor/boost/boost/lexical_cast.hpp (revision 582) +++ trunk/firmware/vendor/boost/boost/lexical_cast.hpp (revision 632) @@ -571,4 +571,5 @@ { stream.unsetf(std::ios::skipws); + stream.setf( std::ios::fmtflags(), std::ios::basefield ); lcast_set_precision(stream, (Source*)0, (Target*)0); } @@ -758,4 +759,5 @@ std::basic_istream<CharT> stream(static_cast<Base*>(this)); stream.unsetf(std::ios::skipws); + stream.setf( std::ios::fmtflags(), std::ios::basefield ); lcast_set_precision(stream, (InputStreamable*)0); #if (defined _MSC_VER) -- ---------------------------------- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com

Sorry. That was very poorly worded. I use qi and karma (boost.spirit) to do most conversions now. It is blazing fast and I don't have to keep patching lexical_cast to handle bases other than base 10. There has been some discussion on the spirit mailing list by Jeroen Habraken submitting a spirit_cast that will look a lot like lexical_cast syntax. Initial tests are very very promising and I think the code looks clean. I hope he submits it soon. michael -- ---------------------------------- Michael Caisse Object Modeling Designs www.objectmodelingdesigns.com

I'd like to do something like: boost::uint16_t b(std::lexical_cast<boost::uint16_t>("xa")); I have no control of the string stream that lexical_cast uses internally, so how could I implement this? P.S.: There are a lot of false statements made about this functionality on the web, some people claim that boost::lexical_cast<> can do the conversion out of the box, but this is not so in my tests. What about doing this struct hexint { operator unsigned int() { return value; } unsigned int value; }; inline std::istream &operator>>(std::istream &in, hexint &rhs) { std::ios::fmtflags flags=in.flags(); in.unsetf(std::ios::oct); in.unsetf(std::ios::dec); in.unsetf(std::ios::hex); unsigned int temp=0; in >> temp; in.setf(flags); if(in.bad()) { throw boost::bad_lexical_cast(); } rhs.value=temp; return in; } //Then you can do hexint x=boost::lexical_cast<hexint>("0x2a");
