Hi,

To convert a string to an int, the lexical_cast form boost library is great.
But if do a call like this :

signed short int i = lexical_cast<signed short int>("60000") no exception is
throw !
i is assigned a value of -5536

It is possible to catch some error ?  How ?
If I have to scan the string before calling lexical_cast, it is not so
useful...
Is the use of  stringstream (see implementation of lexical_cast) not to
heavy ?
What say boost about that ?

Thanks.
Steph.
