Hello,
In order to use Boost.Ratio with my poor compiler from TI, I had to apply the attached fix.
Have you reached to run the regression test after applying your patch?
No.
I suspect a more general fix would be desirable, should such a fix be
added to Boost. However, before investigating further, I'd like to ask, if such a fix would be welcome, or is my compiler too poor to be supported by Boost.Ratio?
Yes, of course, I will apply a patch that works for you. The patch needs however to be applied conditionally to some define your compiler defines specifically. Something like
#ifndef __TI__
template< typename T1, T1 n1, bool n1_is_0, typename T2, T2 n2, bool n2_is_0 > #else template< typename T1, intmax_t n1, bool n1_is_0, typename T2, intmax_t n2, bool n2_is_0 > #endif
and some documentation talking about the limitation should be added as well.
Ok, then I will try to look into this later, understand more how these templates are used, and propose a patch. This will not be the first workaround for this compiler that I propose. I think it was once suggested to use something like BOOST_WORKAROUND. I will try to look into that approach too.
Please could you add a Trac ticket?
Yes, I will do that. Cheers, Kris.
