Hey Paul, First of all, thanks for the tips, it did help a lot. But would you mind if I use you a little more to get up to speed with this project? Answering your first question, yes, I'm studying to the best of my capacities and time-constrains. I found the PDF a little too succint though. If you had some more recommended literature, I'd be very happy to read it. I took a brief look at the present library's code but I must confess I got a little confused. Probably because I was too unprepared. I'll do that again when I experiment a little more with the examples and know exactly what to look for. I did a couple of quick tests to see if my setup is working fine (it is). I tested it using some Boost.Math functions as suggested, but I reckon the test was not solid enough yet. I'll search for a few known big numbers and way to compute them tomorrow. I think it's more convenient (not to overuse the list) to put my files here (https://bitbucket.org/luk51000/multiprecision). It's currently empty since I my git broke today and I didn't have time to fix it, but I should be pushing code as soon as tomorrow. -- Lucas Oliveira On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 2:01 PM, <boost-users-request@lists.boost.org>wrote:

"vendor id, product id " What's that ? I mean for a serial device. If they are present in the device protocol then fine, but that depends on the individual devices and their protocols. You can check whether there has been any traffic, which might be useful, but serial connections are just streams of bytes.
Unhelpfully, Richard.
PS I do recognize "vendor id, product id " for SNMP and for other protocols working at a higher level than "serial".

Hello,
Are there cross-platform methods to discover all the devices currently connected through serial ports with Boost?
The idea is to have a function returning a list of device objects, each containing a handle, the related vendor id, product id and the baud rate at which the device was able to communicate.
My knowledge of serial communication is very limited, may be it is technically infeasible. Do you have any thoughts for Boost or other libs?

Thanks,
Vincent
