[section:internals Internal Support Code]
|
|
|
|
There are some traits classes which authors of new backends should be aware of:
|
|
|
|
namespace boost{ namespace multiprecision{ namespace detail{
|
|
|
|
template<typename From, typename To>
|
|
struct is_explicitly_convertible;
|
|
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Inherits from `boost::integral_constant<bool,true>` if type `From` has an explicit conversion from `To`.
|
|
|
|
template <class From, class To>
|
|
struct is_lossy_conversion
|
|
{
|
|
static const bool value = see below;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Member `value` is true if the conversion from `From` to `To` would result in a loss of precision, and `false` otherwise.
|
|
|
|
The default version of this trait simply checks whether the ['kind] of conversion (for example from a floating-point to an integer type)
|
|
is inherently lossy. Note that if either of the types `From` or `To` are of an unknown number category (because `number_category` is not
|
|
specialised for that type) then this trait will be `true`.
|
|
|
|
template<typename From, typename To>
|
|
struct is_restricted_conversion
|
|
{
|
|
static const bool value = see below;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Member `value` is `true` if `From` is only explicitly convertible to `To` and not implicitly convertible, or
|
|
if `is_lossy_conversion<From, To>::value` is `true`. Otherwise `false`.
|
|
|
|
Note that while this trait is the ultimate arbiter of which constructors are marked as `explicit` in class `number`,
|
|
authors of backend types should generally specialise one of the traits above, rather than this one directly.
|
|
|
|
template <class T>
|
|
is_signed_number;
|
|
template <class T>
|
|
is_unsigned_number;
|
|
|
|
These two traits inherit from either `std::integral_constant<bool, true>` or `std::integral_constant<bool, false>`, by default types are assumed to be signed unless
|
|
`is_unsigned_number` is specialized for that type.
