Description

A closed arithmetic interval represented by a pair of elements of type R. In principle, one should be able to use Boost.Interval library for this. But the functions in this library are not constexpr. Also, this Boost.Interval is more complex and does not support certain operations such bit operations. Perhaps some time in the future, Boost.Interval will be used instead of this interval<R> type.

Template Parameters

R must model the type requirements of Numeric. Note this in principle includes any numeric type including floating point numbers and instances of checked_result<R>.

Notation

Symbol	Description
`I`	An interval type
`i, j`	An instance of interval type
`R`	Numeric types which can be used to make an interval
`r`	An instance of type R
`p`	An instance of std::pair<R, R>
`l, u`	Lowermost and uppermost values in an interval
`os`	std::basic_ostream<class CharT, class Traits = std::char_traits<CharT>>

Associated Types

checked_result holds either the result of an operation or information as to why it failed

Valid Expressions

Note that all expressions are constexpr.

Expression	Return Type	Semantics
`interval<R>(l, u)`	`interval<R>`	construct a new interval from a pair of limits
`interval<R>(p)`	`interval<R>`	construct a new interval from a pair of limits
`interval<R>(i)`	`interval<R>`	copy constructor
`make_interval<R>()`	`interval<R>`	return new interval with std::numric_limits<R>::min() and std::numric_limits<R>::max()
`make_interval<R>(const R &r)`	`interval<R>`	return new interval with std::numric_limits<R>::min() and std::numric_limits<R>::max()
`i.l`	`R`	lowermost value in the interval i
`i.u`	`R`	uppermost value in the interval i
`i.includes(j)`	`boost::logic::tribool`	return true if interval i includes interval j
`i.excludes(j)`	`boost::logic::tribool`	return true if interval i includes interval j
`i.includes(t)`	`bool`	return true if interval i includes value t
`i.excludes(t)`	`bool`	return true if interval i includes value t
`i + j`	`interval<R>`	add two intervals and return the result
`i - j`	`interval<R>`	subtract two intervals and return the result
`i * j`	`interval<R>`	multiply two intervals and return the result
`i / j`	`interval<R>`	divide one interval by another and return the result
`i % j`	`interval<R>`	calculate modulus of one interval by another and return the result
`i << j`	`interval<R>`	calculate the range that would result from shifting one interval by another
`i >> j`	`interval<R>`	calculate the range that would result from shifting one interval by another
`i \| j`	`interval<R>`	range of values which can result from applying \| to any pair of operands from I and j
`i & j`	`interval<R>`	range of values which can result from applying & to any pair of operands from I and j
`i ^ j`	`interval<R>`	range of values which can result from applying ^ to any pair of operands from I and j
`t < u`	`boost::logic::tribool`	true if every element in t is less than every element in u
`t > u`	`boost::logic::tribool`	true if every element in t is greater than every element in u
`t <= u`	`boost::logic::tribool`	true if every element in t is less than or equal to every element in u
`t >= u`	`boost::logic::tribool`	true if every element in t is greater than or equal to every element in u
`t == u`	`bool`	true if limits are equal
`t != u`	`bool`	true if limits are not equal
`os << i`	`os &`	print interval to output stream

Example of use

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdint>
#include <cassert>
#include <boost/numeric/safe_numerics/interval.hpp>

int main(){
    std::cout << "test1" << std::endl;
    interval<std::int16_t> x = {-64, 63};
    std::cout << "x = " << x << std::endl;
    interval<std::int16_t> y(-128, 126);
    std::cout << "y = " << y << std::endl;
    assert(static_cast<interval<std::int16_t>>(add<std::int16_t>(x,x)) == y);
    std::cout << "x + x =" << add<std::int16_t>(x, x) << std::endl;
    std::cout << "x - x = " << subtract<std::int16_t>(x, x) << std::endl;
    return 0;
