Re: [boost] GSoC Boost.Multiprecision project

: <...> Looking at the project description, I think I have understood what needs to be implemented in this project. I have also gone through the current code cpp_bin_float.hpp and I have understood some part of it. I want to know how detailed should my proposal be? What details should I include in my proposal?

Hi, and welcome!
Start from writing a proposal according to this link https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoCSubmissionTemplatehttps://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoCSubmissionTemplate. This link may also help https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoCHints
I have attached my proposal with this mail. Please have a look at it and let me know your feedback. Thanks and regards, Jyotesh Choudhari
After it is done, mail it ti this mailing list with title starting from [boost] GSOC. I also recommend to read this mailing list first, because there is a lot of interesting discussions and useful information about GSOC and some comments about Boost.Multiprecision.
One more advice: there are already two or three students that want to work on Boost.Multiprecision. Try to describe in your proposal why do you suit for that task better than others.

Hi Jyotesh.
Looking at the project description, I think I have understood what needs to be implemented in this project.
Yes, you seem to have a good grasp of the issues. Good work.
I have also gone through the current code cpp_bin_float.hpp and I have understood some part of it. I want to know how detailed should my proposal be? What details should I include in my proposal? What should be the deliverables for the project?
Go ahead and add some details from cpp_bin_float if you like. You can mention that this is a potential solution method. Other than that, I believe you have found the right level of detail, with a few more suggestions from my side below.
I have attached my proposal with this mail.
Please have a look at it and let me know your feedback. Thanks and regards,
I suggest you move the FFT algorithms to an optional part, add a bit more time for the elementary transcendental functions, and add some time for testing the various milestones in the project. After that, you should start submitting your proposal. As far as I know, you can modify your proposal up to May 03. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Chris.
