Initial Comment: <http://www.boost.org/libs/rational/ rational.html#Integer%20Type%20Requirements> states: "I must be an integer-like type, that is the following expressions must be valid for any two values n and m of type I, with the "expected" semantics. [...] n / m (must truncate, and n/m must be positive if n and m are positive)" I doubt that that is what boost::rational requires. int n = 1; int m = 3; int n_over_m = n/m; if( n_over_m > 0) { std::cout << "all OK\n"; } else { std::cout << "Can't use 'int' as base type for boost::rational\n"; } <http://www.boost.org/libs/rational/rational.html#Constructors> states: "Rationals can be constructed from a pair (numerator, denominator) of integers, or a single integer" I think that the documentation should read: "Rationals can be constructed from a pair (numerator, denominator) of I's, or a single I" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=107586&aid=1043616&group_id=7586 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
