If it were me, I'd guard any use of lexical cast I thought was to be used in an MT context because it's a time-bomb waiting to fail. I'm sorry to keep going on about this, but the whole thread that spawned this one had the embedded presumption that lexical_cast is thread-safe and I wanted to dispel that myth -- it's obviously deeply entrenched.

Sorry about that, it's just when I hear "internal buffer" a bell rings in my head and I think "thread safety". It's only because currently I'm learning how to do concurrent programming. -- Janek Kozicki |
