Hey Mark,
It's unfortunate that the cast itself does not reference the relevant
typeid information (perhaps for some advanced good reason), ASFAIK.
Thus, from the log files it's impossible to tell.
You could however wrap all boost::cast<...>() calls into a helper function
that throws an exception carrying the relevant information?
Something like (untested):
template <typename T>
T my_any_cast(const boost::any& a) {
try {
return boost::any_cast<T>(a);
} catch (boost::bad_any_cast&) {
throw std::runtime_error("Bad any_cast: contains " + a.type().name()
+ ", casting to " + typeid(T).name());
}
}
Regards,
Koen

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
