Proposal to Add Decimal Floating Point Support to C++ (revision 2)

by Dietmar Kühl

Excerpt:

This document proposes to add decimal floating point support to the C++ standard. The current version doesn’t spell out the details but instead refers to the Decimal TR (ISO/IEC TR 24733) as a basis and describes changes to be applied to this interface to bring the proposal up to date with C++ 2011 enhancements.
