[std-interval] Re: [reliable_computing] Sun releases free compilers with interval arithmetic support

[George Corliss]

WONDERFUL news.  Thanks for the update, Nelson.

Has anyone done a fit/gap analysis of the Sun C++ interval library compared
with the proposed Interval Arithmetic C++ Standard Library, the revised
version of which is available at
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2006/n2067.pdf

Where do they agree?  Where do they differ?  Are there insights from the Sun
experience that should be reflected in the standard proposal?

Even a partial analysis could help Br{\"o}nnimann, Melquiond, and Pion as
they polish their proposal for consideration by the C++ Standards Committee
in October.
