Hi folks!
I am Dmitriy Gorbel, a computer science student at the Kharkiv Polytechnic University from Ukraine.
I browsed Boost C++ Libraries home page for GSoC and I want to propose a project to implement of a Fixed Point library. I read open standard on open-std.org http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3352.html and tried implementation by Vicente J. Botet Escriba at the https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/fixed_point/
Now I prepare my proposal.
So I will take implementation by Vicente J. Botet Escriba in the first place, and I found few more simple implementations, but can anyone advise me other implementations of Fixed Point arithmetic, which I must pay attention? Not necessarily in C++, pure C also would be good.
Hi Dmitriy, glad to see you have decided to post on this ML. I think the goal is to implement something close to the C++ Fixed Point C++1y proposal. You can look at my prototype to see if you are confident with the complexity (template meta-programming) needed to solve the problem at hand. Of course you can make a proposal for GSoC that is not based on the C++1y proposal that could imply a simpler implementation, but that would miss some of the features I'm locking for. So the fisrt thing you can do is to understand the C++1y proposal, inspect my prototype and then see if you want to implement the C++1y proposal independently of my prototype. If you prefer to go towards a less static type approach for fixed-points, there are some implementations that you can found on the web. I don't remember none particularly, but I would replay once I have found some of them. There is also a lot of mail exchanges that you could try to digest in the Boost ML. The make a concrete proposal and send it either directly to GSoc to this ML or to me. HTH, Vicente
