</blockquote>Exception used to indicate runtime <a href="#lexical_cast"><code>lexical_cast</code></a>
failure.
<hr>
<h2><a name="changes">Changes</a></h2>
<h3>June 2005:</h3>
<ul type="square">
<li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> used the default stream precision for reading
and writing floating-point numbers. For numerics that have a corresponding specialization of
<code>std::numeric_limits</code>, the current version now chooses a precision to match.
<li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> did not support conversion to or from any
wide-character-based types. For compilers with full language and library support for wide characters,
<code>lexical_cast</code> now supports conversions from <code>wchar_t</code>, <code>wchar_t *</code>,
and <code>std::wstring</code> and to <code>wchar_t</code> and <code>std::wstring</code>.
<li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> assumed that the conventional stream extractor
operators were sufficient for reading values. However, string I/O is asymmetric, with the result
that spaces play the role of I/O separators rather than string content. The current version fixes
this error for <code>std::string</code> and, where supported, <code>std::wstring</code>:
<code>lexical_cast&lt;std::string&gt;("Hello, World")</code> succeeds instead of failing with
a <code>bad_lexical_cast</code> exception.
<li>The previous version of <code>lexical_cast</code> allowed unsafe and meaningless conversions to
pointers. The current version now throws a <code>bad_lexical_cast</code> for conversions to pointers:
<code>lexical_cast&lt;char *&gt;("Goodbye, World")</code> now throws an exception instead of
causing undefined behavior.
<li>Call-by-const reference for the parameters. This requires partial specialization
of class templates, so it doesn't work for MSVC 6, and it uses the original
pass by value there.<br>
</li>
<li>The MSVC 6 support is deprecated, and will be removed in a future Boost
version. </li>
</ul>
