5494	"lexical_cast<unsigned int>(""-1"") fails to throw"	Rupert Kittinger-Sereinig <rks@…>	Antony Polukhin	"The following fails to throw: 
 
std::cout << boost::lexical_cast<unsigned int>(std::string(""-1""))
          << std::endl;

output: 4294967295

which looks a lot like static_cast<unsigned int>(-1)

boost version: 1.45
compiler: g++ (Debian 4.4.5-8) 4.4.5

For my project, this is a serious problem since lexical_cast is used for input validation"	Bugs	closed	Boost 1.47.0	lexical_cast	Boost 1.45.0	Problem	wontfix	lexical_cast
