Re: Boost.Charconv review runs January 15th - 25th, 2024

Docs state "non-allocating", yet grepping for malloc
in the source code yields a couple of results in the
from_chars implementation for floats. Could you
please explain the reason behind this?

Also, from the docs for from_chars for floating points:

 "On std::errc::result_out_of_range we return ±0 for
small values (e.g. 1.0e-99999) or ±HUGE_VAL for
large values (e.g. 1.0e+99999) to match the handling
of std::strtod"

What's the rationale for deviating from the standard here?

Ruben.
