Re: [boost] Interest for a Fixed Point Arithmetics library

It seems there is at least some people interested so I will propose it finished for reviewing it :) 2018-01-01 13:41 GMT+01:00 Andrey Semashev via Boost :

An implementation of fixed-point has been written (and is in real-life use) by Chris Kormanyos

see https://github.com/BoostGSoC15/fixed_point/

this uses a specified (fixed at compile-time) fixed-point format. Big formats are possible and it works seamlessly with many Boost.Math functions, often using constexpr for compile-time computations).

It did not receive much attention when tentatively proposed for Boost.

Is this proposal stalled? I vaguely remember a fixed-point proposal but I don't remember the details.

I'm interested in a fast compile-time configured fixed-point type as I had to write one for one project.

It is working and in 'real-life' use 'in anger', and reasonably documented with examples of usage.

But nobody in Boost seemed to be at all interested, so it wasn't proposed formally.

Well, I'm interested. :) Is there a chance it will be proposed?
