Hello,
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?
