Hello, For the past year Chris Kormanyos and I have been working on a new library to implement IEEE 754 decimal floating point types. We are pleased to announce the library is now in beta, and can be found at: https://github.com/cppalliance/decimal, and the documentation is at: https://cppalliance.org/decimal/decimal.html First, what are Decimal Floating Point Numbers? They are floating point numbers where the significand is stored in base-10 (decimal) instead of base-2 (binary). This means that numbers can be represented exactly avoiding cases such as the famous 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3: https://0.30000000000000004.com. The library provides types decimal32, decimal64, and decimal128 as specified in IEEE 754 and STL-like functionality. The library is header-only, has no dependencies, and only requires C++14. It provides most of the STL functionality that you are familiar with such as <cmath>, <cstdlib>, <charconv>, etc. We are proceeding as a beta right now rather than pursuing complete boost review as we are missing STL features such as C++17 special math, and believe we can continue to increase performance. We do intend to go through the review process at a later time. Please give the library a go, and let us know how we can make it better. We look forward to any and all feedback. If you use the Cpplang slack channel I am active (from the Central European Time zone) on both #boost and #boost-decimal. On a personal note as of today I have also moved from being employed half-time to full-time with the C++ Alliance. This affords me a greater opportunity to develop and maintain new and existing Boost libraries. Matt Borland —- C++ Alliance Staff Engineer
