Exception used to indicate runtime lexical_cast
failure.

- - The previous version of
lexical_cast used the default stream precision for reading
- and writing floating-point numbers. For numerics that have a corresponding specialization of
- std::numeric_limits, the current version now chooses a precision to match.
- - The previous version of
lexical_cast did not support conversion to or from any
- wide-character-based types. For compilers with full language and library support for wide characters,
- lexical_cast now supports conversions from wchar_t, wchar_t *,
- and std::wstring and to wchar_t and std::wstring.
- - The previous version of
lexical_cast 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 std::string and, where supported, std::wstring:
- lexical_cast<std::string>("Hello, World") succeeds instead of failing with
- a bad_lexical_cast exception.
- - The previous version of
lexical_cast allowed unsafe and meaningless conversions to
- pointers. The current version now throws a bad_lexical_cast for conversions to pointers:
- lexical_cast<char *>("Goodbye, World") now throws an exception instead of

+ of class templates, so it doesn't work for MSVC 6, and it uses the original
+ pass by value there.
+
+ - The MSVC 6 support is deprecated, and will be removed in a future Boost
+ version.
