<p>
As noted in the <a href="../../../../../../libs/multiprecision/doc/html/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Multiprecision</a>
documentation, certain program constructs will not compile when using expression
templates. One example that many users may encounter is Boost.Test (1.54
and earlier) when using macro BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE and BOOST_CHECK_CLOSE_FRACTION.
</p>
<p>
If, for example, you wish to use any multiprecision type like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float_50</span></code> in place of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code> to give more precision, you will need
to override the default <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">et_on</span></code>
with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">et_off</span></code>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="preprocessor">#include</span> <span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">/</span><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float</span><span class="special">.</span><span class="identifier">hpp</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
</pre>
<p>
To define a 50 decimal digit type using <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float</span></code>,
you must pass two template parameters to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">number</span></code>.
</p>
<p>
It may be more legible to use a two-staged type definition such as this:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="number">50</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">mp_backend</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">number</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">mp_backend</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">et_off</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float_50_noet</span><span class="special">;</span>
</pre>
<p>
Here, we first define <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">mp_backend</span></code>
as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float</span></code> with 50
digits. The second step passes this backend to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">number</span></code>
with <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">et_off</span></code>, an enumerated type.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">number</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="number">50</span><span class="special">&gt;,</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">et_off</span><span class="special">&gt;</span>
<span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float_50_noet</span><span class="special">;</span>
</pre>
<p>
You can reduce typing with a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">using</span></code>
directive <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span>
<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">;</span></code>
if desired, as shown below.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">using</span> <span class="keyword">namespace</span> <span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">;</span>
</pre>
<p>
Now <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float_50_noet</span></code>
or <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">cpp_dec_float_50_et</span></code> can
be used as a direct replacement for built-in types like <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code>
etc.
