     Type:  Bugs                               |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined                   |   Component:  spirit 
  Version:  Boost 1.47.0                       |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  spirit utree string bad_cast       |  
-----------------------------------------------+----------------------------
 When using:

 std::string s1("test");
 boost::spirit::utree u = s1;

 Either of:
    std::string s2 = u.get<std::string>();
 or
    std::string s2 = u.get<boost::spirit::utf8_string_type>();

 fail with a "std::bad_cast" thrown.

 Proceeding with:
     boost::spirit::utf8_string_range_type rt =
 u.get<spirit::utf8_string_range_type>();
     std::string s2(rt.begin(), rt.end());

 works fine...

 Please see attached file for a complete example.
