-----Original Message----- From: Boost [mailto:boost-bounces@lists.boost.org] On Behalf Of Paul A. Bristow Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2013 12:28 PM To: boost@lists.boost.org Subject: [boost] Specific-Width Floating-Point Typedefs
There has recently been some discussion on improving portability of programs using floating-point.
Drawing on the benefits from definition of typedefs for int32_t, int64_t, int128_t . we have drawn up a proposal to add similar typedefs for floating-point.
Our draft document (in both html and pdf) is at
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/precision/libs/precision/doc/html/in...
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/precision/libs/precision/doc/precisi...
We hope to propose this to the SG6 Numerics subgroup of WG21 ISO C++ standards body.
But would welcome comments from Boosters to help us improve this proposal.
In case anyone following this thread is interested, I attach a cross posting of our replies to comments from Nick MacLaren from the British Standards WG21 subgroup. Paul
