Hi, promote_args from
not works with new/extended C++23 FP-types https://godbolt.org/z/13fq8a3d7 The problem might be the outdated "manual variadic" implementation for C++03. Well, according to the documentation (https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_81_0), boost::math requires C++11 anyway; with a switch to C++11 it also works (std::common_type).
This issue also affects some implementations in boost::math::policies.
PS: We have (at least) 3 different definitions for the *same* boost::float128(_type/_t) type 1)
: boost::float128_type 2) / : BOOST_CSTDFLOAT_FLOAT128_NATIVE_TYPE/float128_t 3) : BOOST_MATH_FLOAT128_TYPE :-( thx Gero

Gero, Assuming GCC follows its standard release cadence we should have 13 in the April timeframe to test with fixed width floating point types. We are aware of the potential friction these bring. The fixed width floating point types are explicitly not allowed to be typedefs of the existing floating point types so trivial solutions like common type will likely fail. The promotion rules with these types are also much more complex so it’ll take some time to work out the bugs. Matt
