| <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0_beta1/libs/multiprecision/doc/html/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Multiprecision</a> |
| was a development from the <a href="http://calgo.acm.org/910.zip" target="_top">e_float |
| (TOMS Algorithm 910)</a> library by Christopher Kormanyos. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| e_float can still be used with Boost.Math library via the header: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="programlisting"><span class="special"><</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">bindings</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">e_float</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">></span> |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| And the type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ef</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">e_float</span></code>: |
| this type is a thin wrapper class around ::e_float which provides the necessary |
| syntactic sugar to make everything "just work". |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| There is also a concept checking test program for e_float support <a href="../../../../../../libs/math/test/e_float_concept_check.cpp" target="_top">here</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| <span class="bold"><strong>New projects are recommended to use <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0_beta1/libs/multiprecision/doc/html/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Multiprecision</a> |
| with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cpp_float</span></code> backend instead.</strong></span> |
