Comment (by ben.maurer@â¦):
Any update on if you'd consider doing this? At Facebook we've seen many
instances of programs that call lexical_cast in a try/catch. In cases
where the parsing is expected to fail (eg, an argument could be an int or
a date) we frequently see extremely poor performance in multithreading.
GCC is known to have poor multithreaded exception handling
gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2013-05/msg00253.html
Facebook is currently running a bug bounty program for open source bugs,
and this is a bug that might be worthy of such a bounty, if is something
there is interest in merging.
