Dear All,
I have recently written some code for fixed point arithmetic which I would be happy to contribute to Boost, if it is considered worthy.
I'm interested. You may not know that there was a fixed decimal proposal that rejected...5 years ago now? http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/IM0mRnFUa0mZSoJEp3yqTReGrwCdpzLigMsOuJuijMvLOeF... You'll probably want to try and look at the review comments and see why it was rejected. Michael Marcin wrote:
AFAIK Boost.Integer doesn't support 64-bit types which forced me to roll my own solution.
That's incorrect. There is support for 64-bit types. The documentation, unfortunately, doesn't say so -- you have to read the header. I use boost::int64_t and boost::uint64_t in date-time -- works on every platform boost is ported to AFAIK. Jeff
