[See also the file TODO_static_filters] Concerning the main code: ------------------------- - Policy for overlapping comparisons : another good (faster) solution would be to set a static boolean variable to indicate a buggy comparison happenned (a la IEEE inexact flags). Drawback is that it's not thread safe, but could be made safe with pthread_key_create()... Clearly, all this stuff is policy. struct overlap_throw { void operator() const { throw(ce_qui_faut); } }; Or : class overlap_static { static bool pipo = false; public: void operator() const { pipo = true; } void reset() const { pipo = false; } }; - Use expression templates for Interval_nt<> and Lazy_exact_nt<>. - Specializations for is_zero() and co, and make use of them in the kernel. [Filtered_exact<> doesn't define them either, it's a bug...] - SunPro 5.x supports Interval arithmetic... http://docs.sun.com/htmlcoll/coll.693.1/iso-8859-1/CPPARITHPROG/iapg_bookTOC.html http://www.sun.com/forte/cplusplus/interval/index.html;$sessionid$GSXJDFYAABWVTAMTA1FU45Q - Try to get rid of the libc5 compatible version (make benchmarks first). - Have determinant_by_formula() overloading for Lazy_exact_nt<> ? And what about for Interval_nt<> too ? - Turn CGAL_IA_CHECK_RESTRICT into an [expensive] assertion ? - Handle in_smallest_orthogonalcircle_ftC2.h correctly (needs an include) - Bench -fbranch-probabilities ? Use __builtin_expect() for GCC 3 ? - Mark the cache as "mutable" (see Stroustrup, page 232) ? - Filter_Cache: Faire des benchs, et une test-suite qui soit raisonnable. Hum, rajouter un booléen pour calculer le cache seulement sur demande ? (ça évite de le faire inutilement pour les variables intermédiaires, mais ça prend un chouia plus de place... mais en comparaison du reste...) - Replace CGAL_IA_MAX_DOUBLE by standard DBL_MAX in , if portable (add a test). Not possible for CGAL_IA_MIN_DOUBLE, since DBL_MIN is the _normalized_ minimum. - See the C++ Standard numeric_limits<>, section 18.2. ?

Idem, my fct to_double(Ia) is not the same as the others... - add a pointer to my MISC'99 paper. - DOCUMENT the new boolean template parameter, the script, the static filters. Concerning the test-suite: -------------------------- - Check it with GCOV again before the next public release. - Make a more extensive test-suite for the filtered predicates. The script could output information to test them generically somehow. - Test NaN propagation. Comparisons with these should throw the exception... Check that they are correctly propagated (by min(), max(), even operator*...)
