Comment (by pbristow):

 You will find a working version of fixed-point by Christopher Kormanyos at

 https://github.com/BoostGSoC15/fixed_point


 This is being used for real-life applications and is being actively
 supported and developed.

 But it is not reviewed and no part of the Boost release, but it might
 become so in future.

 Documentation is available via the github version after you have cloned
 the repository via index.html

 and also directly in pdf format at
 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43940943/fixed_point.pdf  (though not
 all the hyperlinks work).

 This version uses a specified underlying integral type (char, int, long
 int ...) and does not expand to a bigger type (exactly as normal C/C++
 integer and floating-p[oint types).  But it does allow
 Boost.Multiprecision types to use many more bits and the built-in types.

 Recommended.
