<p>There are no explicit complexity guarantees here. However, it would

be very surprising if any implementation were to be more complex that

O(0);</p>

|
|
<p>The fundamental requirement of a SafeNumeric type is that implements
|
|
all C++ operations permitted on it's base type in a way the prevents the
|
|
return of an incorrect arithmetic result. Various implementations of this
|
|
concept may handle circumstances which produce such results differently (
|
|
throw exception, compile time trap, etc..) no implementation should return
|
|
an arithmetically incorrect result.</p>
