     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  multiprecision
  Version:  Boost 1.62.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+----------------------------
 Applying convert_to<double>() to cpp_bin_float object with absolute values
 in range (0..2**(INT_MIN+52)] returns infinity.
 Similar bug exists with convert_to<double>().
 Due to limits on exponent of cpp_bin_float the bug can be seen only when
 class Exponent = int64_t or wider.

 Platform: Mingw, gcc 5.3.0, x64. All optimization levels.
