"David Abrahams"
Scott Schurr's version is in http://boost-consulting.com/vault/ (file binary_int.zip). It can be used as: unsigned int regValue2 = binary_int<1000,1001,0011,0000>::value;
Matt Calabrese's version is in http://www.illegal-immigration.com/Riv/boost/binary_literal2.hpp. It can be used as: int x = BOOST_BINARY_LITERAL( 101 0111 1010 0110 );
Is there some rationale that describes how useful these libraries are somewhere?
Scott's library has HTML file with section on binary_int. How to use Matt's version is described in http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/09/93007.php
Are we running simultaneous reviews for two separate librareis?
People should pick which utility (if any) fits into Boost. That there are two alternatives is lucky accident. /Pavel
