the recent discussion on the MultiplePrecission Arithmetic library has show that some people has its ow fixed point library.
Is there an interest in a Boost library having as base http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3352.html? Vicente
Yes! Absolutely interested! I use fixed-point extensively with hard real-time microcontroller systems. I am particularly interested in stuff like a 7.8 and 15.16 signed split. I always use signed fixed-point and always use a split right down the middle of the representation. It keeps the math simple and fast. Good luck with this project. Looking forward to it. I will look into the prelim code later. Thank you, Vicente. Best regards, Chris.
