.. title:: clang-tidy - boost-use-to-string
boost-use-to-string
===================
This check finds conversion from integer type like ``int`` to ``std::string`` or
``std::wstring`` using ``boost::lexical_cast``, and replace it with calls to
``std::to_string`` and ``std::to_wstring``.
It doesn't replace conversion from floating points despite the ``to_string``
overloads, because it would change the behaviour.
.. code-block:: c++
auto str = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(42);
auto wstr = boost::lexical_cast<std::wstring>(2137LL);
// Will be changed to
auto str = std::to_string(42);
auto wstr = std::to_wstring(2137LL);
