Hello,
I have a class, large_integer<BaseT>. I build 256bit integers by doing:
typedef large_integer<unsigned long long> uint128;
typedef large_integer<uint128> uint256;
Unfortunately C++ only seems to allow one implicit conversion, so I'm
unable to do uint256 a = 0, and have to do uint256 a = uint128(0);
instead.
I'm able to get around one of these by having a constructor which
takes the base type, but that only gets me one free conversion,
meaning a uint512 has the same issue.
Is there a way around this (I'm guessing MPL would be my best bet?)?
