#6169: integer.hpp fails to produce compiler error for large number of bits
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: cmoore@⦠| Owner: dlwalker
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: integer
Version: Boost 1.47.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: |
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
According to the documentation, when using the uint_t<Bits> template, a
compile time error should be produced when asking for more bits that a
native type can provide. Actual behavior compiles successfully.
{{{
std::numeric_limits<boost::uint_t<65>::least>::digits
//65 produces 64 instead of a compile error.
std::numeric_limits<boost::uint_t<66>::least>::digits
//66 and larger numbers produce 7 instead of a compile error.
}}}
compiler: apple gcc-4.2 (xcode 4.2), macports gcc-4.6
