When I compile lexical_cast.hpp using MSVC 03 I get a spurious warning:

warning C4701: local variable 'result' may be used without having been initialized.

The code can easily be rewritten in terms of nested if-s, with the arguable benefit that a Target instance would be constructed only if interpreter << arg succeeded. Apart from that marginal gain, the point is whether we want to support the insane VC 7.1 warning level 4. -- [ Gennaro Prota, C++ developer for hire ]
