<p>It's way too easy to overlook the checking of parameters received
from outside the current program.</p>
<pre class="programlisting">#include &lt;stdexcept&gt;
#include &lt;sstream&gt;
#include &lt;iostream&gt;
#include "../include/safe_integer.hpp"
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]){
// problem: checking of externally produced value can be overlooked
std::cout &lt;&lt; "example 6: ";
std::cout &lt;&lt; "checking of externally produced value can be overlooked" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Not using safe numerics" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
std::istringstream is("12317289372189 1231287389217389217893");
try{
int x, y;
is &gt;&gt; x &gt;&gt; y; // get integer values from the user
std::cout &lt;&lt; x &lt;&lt; ' ' &lt;&lt; y &lt;&lt; std::endl;
std::cout &lt;&lt; "error NOT detected!" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
}
catch(std::exception){
std::cout &lt;&lt; "error detected!" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
}
// solution: asign externally retrieved values to safe equivalents
std::cout &lt;&lt; "Using safe numerics" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
{
using namespace boost::numeric;
safe&lt;int&gt; x, y;
is.seekg(0);
try{
is &gt;&gt; x &gt;&gt; y; // get integer values from the user
std::cout &lt;&lt; x &lt;&lt; ' ' &lt;&lt; y &lt;&lt; std::endl;
std::cout &lt;&lt; "error NOT detected!" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
}
catch(std::exception &amp; e){
std::cout &lt;&lt; e.what() &lt;&lt; std::endl;
std::cout &lt;&lt; "error detected!" &lt;&lt; std::endl;
}
}
return 0;
}
</pre>
<p>Without
safe integer, one will have to insert new code every time an integer
variable is retrieved. This is a tedious and error prone procedure. Here
we have used program input. But in fact this problem can occur with any
externally produced input.</p>
