Hello,

Hi Jyotesh.

...

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I have written project proposal for the first time in my life. So, I did not know what details to include. I have made some changes to my proposal as per your suggestions.

The proposal is a lot better. Now you need to submit it to Google's melange site.

Please note that the proposal must be submitted to Googles melange site. Some candidates have been sending the proposals directly to us, and this is incomplete.

I have uploaded my proposal on http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/jyoteshrc...

...

I was studying the code for cpp_bin_float and I have some doubts in my mind.

...

1. What are eval_ops_signed_type, eval_ops_unsigned_type and eval_ops_float_type?

Eval-ops are the global binary arithmetic operatory, and the eval_ops-types are those types that will be supported for global binary math with the radix-2 back-end.

...

2. What is the use of following lines? typedef mpl::list? signed_types; typedef mpl::list unsigned_types; typedef mpl::list? ? float_types;

It's Boost's way of creating a list of built-in types. Again, these are the types that will be supported for global binary math.

...

These are not used in the class elsewhere. Similar lines are present in cpp_dec_float.hpp also and not used elsewhere in the class.

They are used by the multiprecision::number front-end to actually implement global binary math ops.

...

3. In the function from_float_type, I think the variable number_of_digits should be initialized to zero before using it in while loop.

cpp_bin_float is in a rudimentary state right now. It is not even close to working. That's the point of the GSoC project. So stuff might not be quite right yet.

Thank you solving my doubts. I will see the code multiprecision::number also to see how above types are used.

...

Lastly, I have seen on mailing list, that some of the students are submitting code samples.

It's too late for code. Get your best shot at a good proposal onto melange. If you would like to submit code sample, you can do it after your proposal is up.

Good luck. Sincerely, Chris.

Thanks and regards, Jyotesh Choudhari
