<h2>Member functions:</h2>
<P><CODE>static result_type converter&lt;&gt;::convert ( argument_type s ) ; //
  throw</CODE></P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
  <P>This static member function converts an rvalue of type source_type to an rvalue
    of type target_type.<BR>
    If the conversion requires it, it performs a range checking before the conversion
    and passes the result of the check to the overflow handler policy (the default
    policy throws an exception if out-of-range is detected)<BR>
    The implementation of this function is actually built from the policies and
    is basically as follows:</P>
  <PRE>   result_type converter<>::convert ( argument_type s )
   {
     validate_range(s); // Implemented by the internal range checking logic
                        // (which also calls the OverflowHandler policy)
                        // or externally supplied by the UserRangeChecker policy.

     s = nearbyint(s); // Externally supplied by the Float2IntRounder policy.
                       // NOTE: This is actually called only for float to int conversions.

     return low_level_convert(s); // Externally supplied by the RawConverter policy.
   }
</PRE>

  <P>&quot;converter&lt;&gt;::operator() const&quot; just calls <CODE>convert()</CODE></P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><CODE>static range_check_result numeric_converter&lt;&gt;::out_of_range (
argument_type s ) ;</CODE></P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
  <P>This <A HREF="#int">internal</A> static member function determines if the
    value 's' can be represented by the target type without overflow. <BR>
    It does not determine if the conversion is <EM>exact</EM>; that is, it does
    not detect <i>inexact</i> conversions, only <i>out-of-range</i> conversions
    (see the <a href="definitions.html#roundoff">Definitions</a> for further details).<BR>
    The return value is of enum type
    <A HREF="converter_policies.html#rcr"><CODE>boost::numeric::range_check_result</CODE></A><BR>
    The actual code for the range checking logic is optimized for the combined
    properties of the source and target types. For example, a non-subranged conversion
    (i.e: int-&gt;float), requires no range checking, so out_of_range() returns
    cInRange directly. See the following <A HREF="#rchklogic">table</A> for more
    details.<br>
    If the user supplied a <a href="converter_policies.html#rc">UserRangeChecker</a>
    policy, is this policy which implements this function, so the implementation
    is user defined, although it is expected to perform the same conceptual check
    and return the appropriate result.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><CODE>static void numeric_converter&lt;&gt;::validate_range ( argument_type
s ) ; // no throw</CODE></P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
  <P>This <A HREF="#int">internal</A> static member function calls <CODE>out_of_range(s)</CODE>,
    and passes the result to the <A
HREF="converter_policies.html#oh"><CODE>OverflowHandler</CODE></A> policy class
    <BR>
    For those Target/Source combinations which don't require range checking, this
    is an <U>empty inline function</U>.<br>
    If the user supplied a <a href="converter_policies.html#rc">UserRangeChecker</a>
    policy, is this policy which implements this function, so the implementation
    is user defined, although it is expected to perform the same action as the
    default. In particular, it is expected to pass the result of the check to
    the overflow handler.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><CODE>static result_type numeric_converter&lt;&gt;::low_level_convert (
argument_type s ) ;</CODE></P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
  <P>This <A HREF="#int">internal</A> static member function performs the actual
    conversion.<BR>
This function is externally supplied by the <A
HREF="converter_policies.html#rawc"><CODE>RawConverter</CODE></A> policy class.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><CODE>static source_type converter&lt;&gt;::nearbyint (
argument_type s ) ;</CODE></P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
  <P>This <A HREF="#int">internal</A> static member function, which is <U>only
    used</U> for float to int conversions, returns an <I>integer value of <U>floating-point
    type</U></I> according to some rounding direction. <BR>
    This function is externally supplied by the <A
HREF="converter_policies.html#f2i"><CODE>Float2IntRounder</CODE></A> policy class
    which encapsulates the specific rounding mode.</P>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<hr>
<P><A NAME="int"><B>Internal Member Functions</B>:</A> These static member functions
  build the actual conversion code used by <CODE>convert()</CODE>. The user does
