Hello everybody, I usually do not write a lot here, but sometimes follow some of the discussions. I have coded a bigint lib about 2 years ago and decided to propose it as a Boost lib. At that moment I thought that uBlas had a bigint lib, so I never propose my lib to Boost. If anybody is interested, the possibility is still there. Thanks, Lucas Galfasó "Jonathan Turkanis" <technews@kangaroologic.com> wrote in message news:d22j79$ag5$1@sea.gmane.org...

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
