Greetings, Prompted by some discussion on comp.sdt.c++.moderated, I have a small template that allows the user to declare an integer literal in binary. Usage looks like: #include "binary_int.hpp" unsigned int binary = binary_int<1001,0011,1011,0000>::b; The template is written to support up to 64 bits, although my compiler only allows me test up to 32 bits. I intend to use it for programming hardware registers in the language of the hardware folk at my company. The template is only about 150 lines and doesn't really deserve a library, but it could potentially be tucked into another library if it is deemed useful. Thanks. Scott Schurr
