RE: [boost] Re: prob using lexical_castSorry,

But I don't understand.
arg and copy_of_arg are of "Source" type (string in that case).
These are not "pointer" ?#!

The syntax if( *arg != *copy_of_arg ) is rejected (normaly for me) by my compiler ?

Can you please explain more and/or give a solution.

NB : some other people seems to work on a new version of lexical_cast :
Terje Sletteb, Gennadiy Rozenthal, ...
I'm not at the level of these guys...  I'm play with STL since 1 month only.  So excuse me.

Thank.

  Because you're not comparing strings, like in the example above. You're comparing (different) pointers, not values.
