Safe Numerics |
A type fulfills the requirements of an Integer if it has the properties of a integer.
More specifically, a type T is Integer if there exists a
specialization of std::numeric_limits<T> for which
std::numeric_limits<T>::is_integer is equal to
true. See the documentation for standard library class
numeric_limits. The standard library includes such
specializations for all built-in numeric types. Note that this concept is
distinct from the C++ standard library type traits
is_integral and is_arithmetic. These latter
fulfill the requirements of the concept Numeric. But there are types which
fulfill this concept for which is_arithmetic<T>::value ==
false. For example see safe<int>.
In addition to the expressions defined in Numeric the following expressions must be valid.
| Expression | Return Type | Semantics |
|---|---|---|
~t |
T |
bitwise complement |
t << u |
T |
shift t left u bits |
t >> u |
T |
shift t right by u bits |
t & u |
V |
and of t and u padded out to max # bits in t, u |
t | u |
V |
or of t and u padded out to max # bits in t, u |
t ^ u |
V |
exclusive or of t and u padded out to max # bits in t, u |
t <<= u |
T |
left shift the value of t by u bits |
t >>= u |
T |
right shift the value of t by u bits |
t &= u |
T |
and the value of t with u and assign to t |
t |= u |
T |
or the value of t with u and assign to t |
t ^= u |
T |
exclusive or the value of t with u and assign to t |
