Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #5800: lexical_cast doesn't compile without exceptions

Mathias Gaunard — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 19:17:48 GMT

The best solution would be to replace all references to "throw" by the macro BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION which expands to the right thing depending on whether exceptions are enabled or not.

owner changed from nasonov to Douglas Gregor
version Boost Development Trunk → Boost 1.47.0
component lexical_cast → numeric
milestone To Be Determined → Boost 1.48.0

It is not a lexical_cast bug. Lexical cast uses throw_exception function, which works correct with BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS flag.

I`ll redirect this issue to numeric_cast library. If this bug wont be fixed soon. Ill fix it myself (it is a trivial bug)

I`ll do some workaround to allow lexical_cast compile with exceptions off even if numeric cast requires exceptions.

Updated in r77116 (added tests, some workarounds, updated documentation, enabled exception handling with -fvisibility=hidden flag)
Unable to make a good workaround, without copy-pasting a lot of numeric_cast code. Continue to wait for #5731, #5076, #5393 resolutions.

(In [77234]) Fixes #5731, fixes #5076, fixes #5393, fixes #5800 Now numeric_cast (and lexical_cast) can be compiled with disabled exceptions

(In [77236]) More strict tests for disabled exceptions (for fixed #5800)
