coupling lexical_cast with std::transform in the way

std::transform(vector.begin(), vector.end(), str_list.begin(), boost::lexical_cast<string, double>);

is not working because lexical_cast is overloaded. Compilation error is

base_helper.cpp:25:5: error: no matching function for call to 'transform'

std::transform(vector.begin(), vector.end(), str_list.begin(), boost::lexical_cast<string, double>); ^~

[Antony Polukhin]

(In [80715]) Do not overload lexical_cast<To, From>(const From&), instead add lexical_cast<To>(character_type,size_type) templates (refs #7421). Added tests for getting &boost::lexical_cast<To,from> functions pointers

[Antony Polukhin]

(In [80731]) Remove bad test (refs #7421)

[Antony Polukhin]

(In [80739]) Tiny documentation update (refs #7421)

[Antony Polukhin]

In [81278] this fix was somehow removed.

[Antony Polukhin]

(In [83457]) Fix ambiguity while using lexical_cast with std::transform or other functions that may take a pointer to lexical_cast (refs #7421)

[Antony Polukhin]

(In [83542]) Merge from trunk:

• Fixed incorrect usage of Boost.Math when it does not support long double (fixes #8162)
• Fixed ambiguity of boost::lexical_cast functions (fixes #7421)
