The Boost Numeric Conversion library is a collection of tools to describe and
|
||
perform conversions between values of different <a href="boost_numericconversion/definitions.html#numeric_conversion_definitions_numeric_types">numeric
|
||
types</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The library includes a special alternative for a subset of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">numeric_limits</span><span class="special"><></span></code>, the <a href="index.html#numeric_conversion_bounds">bounds<></a>
|
||
traits class, which provides a consistent way to obtain the <a href="boost_numericconversion/definitions.html#numeric_conversion_definitions_range">boundary</a>
|
||
values for the <a href="boost_numericconversion/definitions.html#numeric_conversion_definitions_range">range</a>
|
||
of a numeric type.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
It also includes a set of <a href="index.html#numeric_conversion_traits">trait classes</a>
|
||
which describes the compile-time properties of a conversion from a source to
|
||
a target numeric type. Both <a href="boost_numericconversion/definitions.html#numeric_conversion_cpp_arithmetic_types">arithmetic</a>
|
||
and <a href="boost_numericconversion/definitions.html#numeric_conversion_definitions_numeric_types">user-defined
|
||
numeric types</a> can be used.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
A policy-based <a href="index.html#numeric_conversion_converter">converter</a>
|
||
object which uses <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">conversion_traits</span></code>
|
||
to select an optimized implementation is supplied. Such implementation uses
|
||
an optimal range checking code suitable for the source/target combination.
