<p>
The <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tommath_rational</span></code> back-end
is used via the typedef <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">multiprecision</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">tom_rational</span></code>.
It acts as a thin wrapper around <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">rational</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">tom_int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> to provide a rational number type that
is a drop-in replacement for the native C++ number types, but with unlimited
precision.
</p>
<p>
The advantage of using this type rather than <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">rational</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">tom_int</span><span class="special">&gt;</span></code> directly, is that it is expression-template
enabled, greatly reducing the number of temporaries created in complex
expressions.
</p>
<p>
There are also non-member functions:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">tom_int</span> <span class="identifier">numerator</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">tom_rational</span><span class="special">&amp;);</span>
<span class="identifier">tom_int</span> <span class="identifier">denominator</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">tom_rational</span><span class="special">&amp;);</span>
</pre>
<p>
which return the numerator and denominator of the number.
</p>
<p>
Things you should know when using this type:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
Default constructed <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">tom_rational</span></code>s
have the value zero (this the inherited Boost.Rational behavior).
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Division by zero results in a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">overflow_error</span></code>
being thrown.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Conversion from a string results in a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">runtime_error</span></code>
being thrown if the string can not be interpreted as a valid rational
number.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
No changes are made to <a href="http://libtom.net" target="_top">libtommath</a>'s
global state, so this type can safely coexist with other <a href="http://libtom.net" target="_top">libtommath</a>
code.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Performance of this type has been found to be pretty poor - this need
further investigation - but it appears that Boost.Rational needs some
improvement in this area.
