Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #4255: Documentation: No overflow-checking in accumulators, no precision guarantees

Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #4255: Documentation: No overflow-checking in accumulators, no precision guarantees https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4255 As discussed here<a class="ext-link" href="http://old.nabble.com/-accumulators--Is-there-a-reset-function-yet--td28635232.html">http://old.nabble.com/-accumulators--Is-there-a-reset-function-yet--td28635232.html</a>, I suggest changing the documentation to warn users of possible overflow/loss of precision issues: Maybe in the section "The Accumulators Framework" one could add the sentence To ensure maximum performance, the predefined accumulators in the library do not check for possible overflows or loss of precision by adding numbers of very different exponents. en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4255 Trac 1.4.3
