| <h1>TODO list for the Interval Arithmetic library</h1> |
| |
| <h2>Comments from the review process</h2> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>It would be nice to have a 100% portable Rouding policy class based |
| on LIA-1 only, with no additional requirement such as IEEE 754 or even |
| more.</li> |
| |
| <li>For pi and other constants, we should fetch them from the Math |
| constants library when it is ready.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Various items</h2> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Support the <code>-mfpmath=sse</code> option of g++ for Pentium IV |
| optimized code. This requires a different rounding policy class.</li> |
| |
| <li>Have an optimized specialization of |
| <code>interval<double></code> using SSE2 instructions? Tricky.</li> |
| |
| <li>Write a traits specialization for <code>interval<MPFR></code>, |
| and other non-built-in number types.</li> |
| |
| <li>Have a robust implementation of transcendental functions over the |
| built-in floating point types (e.g. using MPFR)?</li> |
| |
| <li>Safe conversions from <code>interval<double></code> to |
| <code>interval<float></code>? Requires partial specialization.</li> |
| |
| <li>It would be nice to use the expression template mecanism to |
| automatically use the more efficient unprotected rounding mode version |
| for small subexpressions (although you can do bigger expressions by |
| hand).</li> |
| </ul> |
