The library provides some helper code to assist in defining new constants;
|
||
the process for defining a constant called <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">my_constant</span></code>
|
||
goes like this:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
1. <span class="bold"><strong>Define a function that calculates the value of the
|
||
constant</strong></span>. This should be a template function, and be placed in
|
||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">constants</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">calculate_constants</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span></code> if the
|
||
constant is to be added to this library, or else defined at the top of your
|
||
source file if not.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The function should look like this:

|

|

then you cannot define <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">constant_my_constant</span></code>

2. <span class="bold"><strong>You will need an arbitrary precision type to use to

|

<p>

3. It is necessary to link to the Boost.Regex library, and probably to your

chosen arbitrary precision type library.

4. You need to add <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">libs</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">\</span><span class="identifier">include_private</span></code>

is then:

The output from the program is a snippet of C++ code (actually a macro call)
|

that can be cut and pasted into <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">math</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">constants</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">constants</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span></code> or else into your own code, for example:

</pre>

<p>
|

This macro BOOST_DEFINE_MATH_CONSTANT inserts a C++ struct code snippet that

declares the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">float</span></code>, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">long</span>
|

<span class="keyword">double</span></code> versions of the constant, plus

a decimal digit string representation correct to 100 decimal digits, and all

the meta-programming machinery needed to select between them.
