Re: [boost] Interest in an arbitrary precision library?

Thats true but irrelevant, because you cant tell, given only the resulting floating point representation, whether your floating-point value is representing an approximation to some value which may be rational or itrrational or alternatively is an exact representation of a rational value.

And so...? I fail to see your point. Are you trying to support the original poster who said just to use boost::rational? Joel Eidsath
