<p>This library really an re-implementation the facilities provided by
|
|
<a href="http://safeint.codeplex.com" target="_top">David LeBlanc's SafeInt
|
|
Library</a> using <a href="www.boost.org" target="_top">Boost and C++14</a>.
|
|
I found this library very well done in every way. My main usage was to run
|
|
unit tests for my embedded systems projects on my PC. Still, I had a few
|
|
issues.</p>
|
|
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
|
|
<li class="listitem"><p>It was a lot of code in one header - 6400 lines. Very unwieldy
|
|
to understand, modify and maintain.</p></li>
|
|
<li class="listitem"><p>I couldn't find separate documentation other than that in the
|
|
header file.</p></li>
|
|
<li class="listitem"><p>It didn't use <a href="www.boost.org" target="_top">Boost</a>
|
|
conventions for naming.</p></li>
|
|
<li class="listitem"><p>It required porting to different compilers.</p></li>
|
|
<li class="listitem"><p>It had a very long license associated with it.</p></li>
|
|
<li class="listitem"><p>I could find not test suite for the library.</p></li>
|
|
</ul></div>
|
|
<p>This version addresses these issues. It exploits <a href="www.boost.org" target="_top">Boost</a> facilities such as template
|
|
metaprogramming to reduce the number of lines of source code to
|
|
approximately 4400. It exploits the Boost Preprocessor Library to generate
|
|
exhaustive tests.</p>
|
|
<p>All concepts, types and functions documented are declared in the
|
|
name space <code class="computeroutput">boost::numeric</code>.</p>
