<para>This library is really a re-implementation of the facilities provided
|
|
by <ulink url="http://safeint.codeplex.com">David LeBlanc's SafeInt
|
|
Library</ulink> using <ulink url="www.boost.org">Boost and C++14</ulink>. 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.</para>

<para>It was a lot of code in one header - 6400 lines. Very unwieldy to
|
|
understand, modify and maintain.</para>

<para>I couldn't find separate documentation other than that in the

header file.</para>

for naming.</para>

<para>I could find no test suite for the library.</para>

<para>This version addresses these issues. It exploits <ulink
|
|
url="www.boost.org">Boost</ulink> facilities such as template
|
|
metaprogramming to reduce the number of lines of source code to
|
|
approximately 4700. It exploits the Boost Preprocessor Library to generate
|
|
exhaustive tests.</para>

<para>All concepts, types and functions documented are declared in the name
|

space <code>boost::numeric</code>.</para>
