Member Function Documentation

demonstrate_basics()

void demonstrate_basics ( )

inlineprivate

Test:

demonstrate fundamental properties of rational arithmetics as provided by boost::rational

• represent rational fractions precisely
• convert to other types and then perform the division
• our typedef Rat = boost::rational<int64_t>
• our user-defined literal "_r" to simplify notation
• string conversion to reveal numerator and denominator
• automatic normalisation and reduction
• some typical fractional calculation examples.

Definition at line 71 of file rational-test.cpp.

verify_limits()

void verify_limits ( )

inlineprivate

Test:

demonstrate the limits and perils of rational fractions

• largest and smallest number representable
• numeric overflow due to normalisation
• predicates to check for possible trouble

Definition at line 102 of file rational-test.cpp.

verify_intLog2()

void verify_intLog2 ( )

inlineprivate

Test:

an optimised implementation of integer binary logarithm

• basically finds the highest bit which is set
• can be used with various integral types
• performs better than using the floating-point solution

Todo:

this test (and the implementation) belongs into some basic util header.

verify_requant()

void verify_requant ( )

inlineprivate

Test:

helper to re-quantise a rational fraction

• recast a number in terms of another denominator
• this introduces an error of known limited size
• and is an option to work around "poisonous" fractions

Definition at line 323 of file rational-test.cpp.
