I once had way too much time on my hands and wrote a little
Roman numeral class. I've put it in the Yahoo files
section as rn.zip. If anyone is interested in Boostifying
it, feel free.
The files:
roman.hpp
roman.cpp
rntest1.cpp - a little unit test program
test1out.txt - the output of rntest1
Some possible improvements:
- support for wide iostreams.
- I/O in the "iiii" form (mine does only the "iv" form)
and I/O manipulators to select the form.
- I remember reading that there's a character (I think
it was something like a backwards upper case C) that
could be use to extend the range if the user has
such a character available. (It might be there in
ISO 10646...I don't know.)
