There have been many discussions on fixed point libraries on the list in the past I would start by searching the mailing list archives and reading up.
Good luck!
Thanks for your advice, I found many discussions about the fixed point library in mailing list archive. It come in handy. Vicente J. Botet Escriba wrote
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
I want to implement library, of course, based on the C++1y proposal and your prototype. I just interested about other implementations, I think they also become useful. I will send my proposal on your email soon.
