6571	lexical_case<float>(someString) does not recognize IEEE exceptions	Chromatix <mhazadmanesh2009@…>	Antony Polukhin	"When using lexical_cast to cast a floating point value (float, double, long double), lexical_cast will generate the proper IEEE floating-point exception string.
But when converting the string representation to the real floating point value, lexical_cast doesn't recognize the special values and throws bad_lexical_cast. Look at this example trying to work with double undefined values. The same problem exists for infinity (and probably for other special values that I'm not aware of).

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>

{
    boost::lexical_cast<string>(sqrt(-1.0)); //OK, returns ""-1.#IND""
    boost::lexical_cast<double>(""-1.#IND"");  //bad_lexical_cast !!!
    return 0;
}
