The last line of the following program throws a bad_lexical_cast exception. The
code is compiled with VC7.1.
//**********************************************************
#include <limits>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
double d = std::numeric_limits<double>::infinity();
std::string s = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(d);
std::cout<<d<<", "<<s<<std::endl;
//Throws bad_lexical_cast
boost::lexical_cast<double>(s);
}
//**********************************************************
The output is:
"1.#INF, 1.#INF"
Am I doing something wrong ?
