Re: [boost] [gsoc18]Boost.SafeFloat

I have read the paper "Goldberg, David. "What every computer scientist should know about floating-point arithmetic." ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) 23.1 (1991): 5-48."and documentation and now having a little understanding of what this project is about.Presently going through the code and concepts, please guide me of what changes I have to do in the previous code to make it better.

Hi Rajat, For the Boost.SafeFloat project, I suggest you take a look to the following links: - Repository: https://github.com/sdavtaker/safefloat - Documentation: https://sdavtaker.github.io/safefloat/doc/html/index.html

Also, try to read this paper if you didn't before: Goldberg, David. "What every computer scientist should know about floating-point arithmetic." ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) 23.1 (1991): 5-48. From the C++ perspective, key concepts you need to know are: - Templates (a lot of it) - Custom Literals

A good proposal would be to take a read to the documentation and code base and describe what is missing to complete the project. Best regards, Damian Vicino

Dear boost community, I am a GSOC aspirant and I'd like to contribute to your organization. I have read the project ideas and is interested in working on:- 1)Boost.SafeFloat or 2)Enhancing Boost.Intrusive Library Can I get some more info about how to work on these projects and the basic requirements so that I can learn them and be able to contribute to my fullest.

Thank you,
