14 <h1>TODO list for the Interval Arithmetic library
</h1>
16 <h2>Comments from the review process
</h2>
19 <li>It would be nice to have a
100% portable Rounding policy class based
20 on LIA-
1 only, with no additional requirement such as IEEE
754 or even
23 <li>For pi and other constants, we should fetch them from the Math
24 constants library when it is ready.
</li>
27 <h2>Various items
</h2>
30 <li>Support the
<code>-mfpmath=sse
</code> option of g++ for Pentium IV
31 optimized code. This requires a different rounding policy class.
</li>
33 <li>Have an optimized specialization of
34 <code>interval
<double
></code> using SSE2 instructions? Tricky.
</li>
36 <li>Write a traits specialization for
<code>interval
<MPFR
></code>,
37 and other non-built-in number types.
</li>
39 <li>Have a robust implementation of transcendental functions over the
40 built-in floating point types (e.g. using MPFR)?
</li>
42 <li>Safe conversions from
<code>interval
<double
></code> to
43 <code>interval
<float
></code>? Requires partial specialization.
</li>
45 <li>It would be nice to use the expression template mechanism to
46 automatically use the more efficient unprotected rounding mode version
47 for small subexpressions (although you can do bigger expressions by
