From: Jeff Garland <jeff@crystalclearsoftware.com> I have done a lot of work on something very similar to this that I was hoping to propose fairly soon (next few weeks). The interface isn't quite N2198, but I'm not crazy about N2198 anyway (it isn't threadsafe, for example, AFAICT). I've been using the IEEE754r spec. Is it worthwhile at all to continue to work on a BOOST library for fixed decimal arithmetic without making it N2198 compliant?
There would probably be a way to make an N2198-compliant version of my code, if that were necessary.
Good question, I'm very surprised that N2198 isn't thread safe, how come? Thanks, John.
