I need a BSD-like licensed C(++) multiprecision library with complex numbers support so I tried boost.
The following code fails:
#include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_dec_float.hpp>
#include <complex>
using namespace boost::multiprecision;
std::complex<cpp_dec_float_50>(1.0, 2.0) / std::complex<cpp_dec_float_50>(1.0, 2.0)
in Visual Studio 2012 with an error C2440 because the implementation of complex tries to cast to double in internal functions like _Isinf or _Isnan.
Is this an error on my part? How can I fix this? Are there better libraries?
From C++11 26.4/2:
The effect of instantiating the template complex for any type other than float, double, or long double is unspecified.
So you can't reliably use std::complex
with other types, but perhaps boost has a complex
type that works with cpp_dec_float_50
.
