Dear All,
Several months ago I became the official maintainer of Boost.Rational, and am just now getting around to considering proposed modifications to the library.
I would like to know:
1. Do people use Boost.Rational, and if so, what is it used for, and with what template parameters?
I'm not using it now, but I will probably want to throw it at my upcoming linear algebra code, using an unlimited precision integer type (if I can find one) as the template parameter.
Would it be kosher for me to grab a bigint class from the Yahoo files section -- say the one by Ronald Garcia and Andrew Lumsdaine -- make sure it is in good shape, and let it be the default template parameter to rational? Naturally, as soon as a bigint class is accepted I would use it instead. Jonathan
