Comment (by anonymous):

 While I don't like the code much, I did review most if not all of those
 case.
 boost::iostreams::write cannot return a value larger than amt, amt is
 header_.size() - offset_, and header_.size() is size_t, thus there is no
 issue in this case.
 Well, not correctness wise. The code is annoying/confusing and potentially
 triggers compiler warnings.
 So yes, a specific test case for reproducing any issue would be useful.
