I am facing quite a large amount of crashes with either union_, or difference (and possibly others) when I try them on my large datasets (many hundred thousand polygons processed in various ways, I am actually porting existing working code from GPC to boost/Geometry). Most of what I see have to do with numerical robustness (e.g. computing the difference between two polygons that merely cover each other).

The good thing would be that I could focus on reporting relevant crash cases and not the ones that are already fixed in your dev branch.

It is not yet integrated into the "develop" branch. The branch is:
https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/tree/rescale_to_integer
Apart from that the union and other intersection problems should be
solved. However, a nasty side effect in some cases is that some spikes
are left, I'm trying to fix that too and that is the reason why it is
not integrated yet. I cannot say if that is a problem for you.
You are welcome to try it and report your experiences with it.
It is a (more or less) personal branch but still I try to have it as
complete as possible, so no compilation errors etc, but it is not daily
tested automatically.
