         The lack of preservation of range makes conversions between numeric types
         error prone. This is true for both implicit conversions and explicit conversions
         (through <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">static_cast</span></code>). <a class="link" href="improved_numeric_cast__.html#boost_numericconversion.improved_numeric_cast__.numeric_cast" title="numeric_cast"><code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">numeric_cast</span></code></a> detects loss of range
         when a numeric type is converted, and throws an exception if the range cannot
         be preserved.
       </p>
 <p>
         There are several situations where conversions are unsafe:
       </p>
 <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
 <li class="listitem">
           Conversions from an integral type with a wider range than the target integral
           type.

 <li class="listitem">
           Conversions from unsigned to signed (and vice versa) integral types.

 <p>
         The C++ Standard does not specify the behavior when a numeric type is assigned
         a value that cannot be represented by the type, except for unsigned integral
         types [3.9.1.4], which must obey the laws of arithmetic modulo 2n (this implies
         that the result will be reduced modulo the number that is one greater than
         the largest value that can be represented). The fact that the behavior for
         overflow is undefined for all conversions (except the aforementioned unsigned
         to unsigned) makes any code that may produce positive or negative overflows
         exposed to portability issues.

 <p>

         must guarantee that for a conversion to a type that can hold all possible
         values of the source type, there will be no runtime overhead.
