Sorry, but no. n1692 specifies that it's supposed to throw an std::overflow exception when it can't get the memory it needs to represent a number.
Doesn't this statement that "the standard says it must throw" conflict with your justification for having NaN as being "for when exceptions are blocked"?
It would, if std::overflow were a blockable exception. :-) Most of the library's exceptions can be blocked, but not all of them. - -- Chad Nelson Oak Circle Software, Inc. * * * -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuv2GQACgkQp9x9jeZ9/wRZogCgrXslErqTTMqy7ZrTLUHCRnma Rp0AnRC0/e4OXchzpp/qmtiteaE4fTdL =DMUv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
