13577,rational_adaptor does not compile with fixed width cpp_int,jgarber1@…,John Maddock,"Hello, I am trying to use the `rational_adaptor` class with a 128-bit `cpp_int` as a fixed-width alternative to `cpp_rational`. However, attempting to do so results in a compiler error.

{{{
#include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp>

using namespace boost::multiprecision;

using Rational = number<rational_adaptor<cpp_int_backend<128, 128, signed_magnitude, checked, void>>>;

int main() {
    Rational x = 3;
    x /= 2;
}
}}}

Compiling this program (Clang, Mac 10.12, Boost 1.67) results in the following error

Is the `rational_adaptor` class intended for use with fixed-width integers, or just arbitrary precision ones?
