The review period for Daryle Walker's "int" and "gcd" submissions will end
tomorrow, Wednesday September 26th. A description of the two submissions
follows:

--------

     http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/dlw_int.zip

It extends <boost/integer.hpp> by providing typedef's for the built-in
integers based on the extreme value. The <boost/integer_mask.hpp> header
formalizes the masking constants used in the implementation of
<boost/crc.hpp>. The <boost/static_lb.hpp> gives the highest integral
power
of 2 in a number at compile time.

However, I haven't figured out how to solve the problem I described in
message #15791, nor has it been tested on other platforms. (I'm using a
Mac
OS 9.1 system with Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5.3.)

     http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/dlw_gcd.zip

It moves some runtime and compile-time code for determining the Greatest
Common Divisor and Least Common Multiple from the rational and pool
sub-libraries to their own header.

--------

Please take some time to review these changes and post your usual thoughtful
responses to this mailing list.

Thanks,
Dave
