Re: [boost] Boost.Charconv review runs January 15th - 25th, 2024

I'm not a reviewer, but I'd like to add a note on the interface:

I think boost::charconv should add one convenience function as follows:

// Returns std::nullopt on error template <typename NumberType>

std::optional<NumberType> boost::charconv::to_number(const

std::string_view& sv) noexcept;

Reason: Right now there is no simple, non-throwing way of converting a string to a number in C++ as std::stoi/std::stof throws exceptions on errors.

Viktor, Thanks for the suggestion. I can add some additional interfaces for to/from number to the library since they are pretty straightforward. Similar comments came up during the review such as supporting string_view instead of pointer pairs. Matt
