Hi! You have reached the mail filter of one Richard Gooch. I'm sorry
to have to do this to you, but I am now filtering my email to combat
the flood of junk email (spam) that I receive. I'm fed up with having
to waste my time sifting through junk email. This filter also protects
me from certain types of mailbombing attacks.

I received an email from you, but my mail filter doesn't think you
sent it to me personally. This may be because I am on some mailing
list I'm not aware of. It may also have come from a mailing list I
*am* subscribed to, but the list adminstrators have started fiddling
with (breaking) the listserver.
APOLOGIES if the mailing list is genuine (i.e. not a spam list). If
you receive this reply because of a message you sent to a genuine
mailing list, please send me a message (telling me which mailing list
I'm on) with the following in the subject line:

293977

This is my password of the week. My mail filter will then let me see
the message. NOTE: the password MUST be in the subject, not the body.
I will then add a rule for the mailing list (or unsubscribe myself if
I don't wish to be subscribed) so that this won't happen again. I
apologise to people subscribed to mailing lists if this message is
sent to the whole list; I have taken considerable care to make sure
that mailing lists I want to be subscribed to are not affected by my
spam filter.

NOTE TO BULK EMAIL ADVERTISERS, SPAMMERS AND OTHER PARASITES: if you
manage to break through my filtering, rest assured that I will ignore
your message on principle. Future mails will be automatically deleted.
Unsolicited commercial email is unwelcome and costs *me* time to deal
with.

The message you apparently sent to me follows:

Hi, all

Recently I have used lexical_cast extensively. I had a requirement to 
be able to accept a integer values presented with any base (10,8,16). 
Also I needed to catch an input errors for unsigned integer values to 
prevent negative input. With current implementation 
lexical_cast<unsigned int>( "-10" ) won't catch any errors. I end up 
writing small adaptor class I named integer_adaptor (I am not sure 
about this name it's just proposition) with the following 
functionality:

template<class IntType>
struct integer_adaptor {
    friend std::istream&    operator>>( std::istream& str, 
integer_adaptor& iad );
    operator                IntType() { return m_value; }
private:
    IntType m_value;
};

template<class IntType>
std::istream&
operator>>( std::istream& str, integer_adaptor<IntType>& iad )
{
    str >> std::ws;
    std::istreambuf_iterator<char> it( str.rdbuf() );

    if( *it == '-' && !std::numeric_limits<IntType>::is_signed )
        throw bad_lexical_cast();

    str.flags( str.flags() | std::ios_base::basefield );

    iad.m_value = 0;

    str >> iad.m_value;

    return str;
}

I think due to a general applicability of the issue, it could worth 
sharing.

Code and small test are located here:
