Drawing influence from Python, I suggest that the non-throwing version look like:

std::pair<T,bool> string_to<T>(x)

allowing:

fn( string_to<Object>(object).first );

How does that draw influence from Python? That interface doesn't allow for types that can't be default constructed. optional<T> string_to<T>(x) seems more likely. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
