Sounds very useful - if only occasionally (in the absence of a binary input option addition to C++0X which I haven't heard proposed - Ada allows ANY base, of course, so C++ is way behind). Can you post reference to discussion and perhaps append the binary_int.hpp file as it sounds quite short?

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 | | _______________________________________________ | Unsubscribe & other changes: | http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost |
