#9400: Boost spirit double_ parser crashes (array out of bounds) on values over
1e308
-------------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  michael.schmidt@…  |      Owner:  djowel
     Type:  Bugs               |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined   |  Component:  spirit
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0       |   Severity:  Showstopper
 Keywords:                     |
-------------------------------+-------------------------
 How to reproduce:

 {{{
 std::string test = "00573e443ef8ec10b5a1f23ac8964c43c415cedf";
 std::string::const_iterator s_begin = test .begin();
 std::string::const_iterator s_end   = test .end();
 boost::spirit::qi::phrase_parse(s_begin, s_end,
 boost::spirit::qi::double_, boost::spirit::iso8859_1::space, out);
 }}}

 Note that this value get's interpreted as a double 573E+443.

 There is an array index out of bounds in the function:
 {{{
 boost/spirit/home/support/detail/pow10.hpp, line 88
 }}}

 because the exponent larger than 308. I suggest throwing an exception here
 if the exponent is >308 so that we can handle if a user enters a value
 larger than the max double. Otherwise the double_ parser is unusable for
 user input or user provided data.
