Re: [boost] Is there interest in portable integer overflow detection, with policy based handling?

The implementation is complete, with 5 policies created (and users can always create and use more).  The policies are:

ignore_overflow throw_overflow assert_overflow saturate_overflow nan_overflow

The implementation is fully portable, and it provides integer types which can be used like the builtin integers, except they will trigger their policy on an overflow.

Also, this library will integrate seamlessly with the Boost Constrained Value Library (contributed by Robert Kawulak).

Does this pique anyone's interest?

How does it relate to Boost.NumericConversion? See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_48_0/libs/numeric/conversion/doc/html/index.... --Beman
