Hi everyone, first of all, thank you for your comments, and thank you for pointing out David's library. We actually haven't seen David's code until today, that you've mentioned it... We had no idea that it existed we asked about a month and a half ago (12.5.09) regarding adding a SafeInt lib for boost, and no one actually replied, so did happen in the IRC, and when we didn't find any other such thing in boost, we decided that it would be a good idea to have something like that, under the boost licence. Regarding David's work: indeed a great job, much more complete than ours for the moment, though we still think that such a library in boost will be a good idea. we may suggest our help if David will decide to port histo boost, or it's possible to keep developing a parrallel independent library, fixing the portabilities issues and adding more functionality... We are aware that there is still work to be done on our library There is indeed an overflow flag as mentioned, but the library should be platform independent, that's why it doesn't use it, though it will be probably faster.

A friend and I have started working on a SafeInt library which we hope will be included in Boost
the library is composed of a template class, which excepts existing integer types as a parameter, and an exception class. not all operators have been implemented and there is still work to be done on the library, but we have reached a stage in which at least the basic operators are ready and tested.
I've attached to this thread a zip file containing the code for the library and a tester we wrote (as an example for how the class should be used) I've also uploaded it to the boost vault.
We would appreciate it if you took the time to review our code and give us your comments, tips and opinions (either as a reply to this thread or by email - omerktz@gmail.com)
thanks, Omer Katz and Zil Levi
