Re: [boost] [conversion] try_lexical_cast and 200$

2013/12/11 Antony Polukhin

There is a bounty for implementing a `try_lexical_cast` from Facebook: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1352296-exceptionless-lexical_cast

Because of that three questions arise:

* Is there some official policy for "feature implementation sponsorship"?

* `try_lexical_cast` must be added or not? And if yes, what signature is preffered:

bool try_lexical_cast(Out&, const In&) bool try_lexical_cast(const In&, Out&) boost::optional<Out> try_lexical_cast(const In&)

How about: boost::optional<Out> lexical_cast(const In&, std::nothrow_t) Whether this or try_lexical_cast, I prefer the function to return an optional. Regards, Kris
