I have implemented a type for handling decimal math ...
How does your decimal library compare to Bill Seymore's library that we reviewed some time ago? With the C and C++ committee's working on a decimal arithmetic technical report, have you considered how your library will support future decimal types that come out of that effort? Since at least one major vendor (IBM) apparently intends to support the proposed decimal types in hardware, the new types may be a lot faster on some platforms than decimal types which do not have hardware support. --Beman
