Just a crazy idea ... what about if the exponent is a big integer as
well? And the mantissa ... guess you can go all crazy, hope this is supported by the library!
Not yet, but not impossible (other than it messing up std::numeric_limits<>::max_exponent). Of course making the mantissa arbitrary precision is definitely not possible - unless you can tell me how exactly > > many digits Pi has ;-) John.
I wouldn't want to slow down the thing for a big exponent. But your mileage may vary... Best regards, Chris.
