Re: [boost] Interest in a binary_int template for binary literals?

Greetings,

Prompted by some discussion on comp.sdt.c++.moderated, I have a small template that allows the user to declare an integer literal in binary.

Usage looks like:

#include "binary_int.hpp"

unsigned int binary = binary_int<1001,0011,1011,0000>::b;

Why is that better than unsigned x = strtoul("1010010001000010000001", 0, 2); ? I believe that 'strtoul' is part of C99. - Volodya
