CPP11 — Missing constructor for Fixed

  • Key: CPP11-234
  • Legacy Issue Number: 1073
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Anonymous
  • Summary:

    Summary: Type Fixed has constructors for LongDouble and int. This causes
    a few initialization problems. For example:

    Fixed<8,2> x = 6.75;
    Fixed<8,2> y = 10L;
    Fixed<8,2> z = 10U;

    None of these will compile because of the ambiguity as to whether to use
    the int or the LongDouble constructor.

    I think Fixed will need additional constructors to allow initialization
    from float, double, long and unsigned values.
