<h1><img border="0" src="../../boost.png" align="center" width="277" height="86">Boost

|
Conversion Library</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The Conversion Library improves program safety and clarity by performing
|
||
|
|
otherwise messy conversions. It includes cast-style function templates designed to complement the C++
|
||
|
|
Standard's built-in casts.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To reduce coupling, particularly to standard library IOStreams, the Boost
|
||
|
|
Conversion Library is
|
||
|
|
supplied by several headers:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>The <a href="cast.htm">boost/cast</a> header provides <b>polymorphic_cast<></b>
|
||
|
|
and <b>polymorphic_downcast<></b> to perform safe casting between
|
||
|
|
polymorphic types.<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The <a href="../../doc/html/boost_lexical_cast.html">boost/lexical_cast</a> header provides <b>lexical_cast<></b>
|
||
|
|
general literal text conversions, such as an <code>int</code> represented as
|
||
|
|
a <code>string</code>, or vice-versa.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
