AFAIK the performance issues of lexical_cast have been solved some time ago. And even if it was slower than stringstream, I would still prefer lexical_cast because it is way easier to write and read.

Funny thing is, the stringstreams are actually more optimal/faster than boost::lexical_cast for string conversion so in this case the beginner wins

You got me! Of course that should be std::map::insert. See, that proves exactly my point about boost::assign

Apparently you don’t need to know c++ either. Wtf is std::map::push_back?

I really would like to meet Joe Developer. As he is cited very often, I guess he must be really important.
