Description

This is an implementation of a compile time rational number, where static_rational<N,D> represents a rational number with numerator N and denominator D. Because of the potential for ambiguity arising from multiple equivalent values of static_rational (e.g. static_rational<6,2>==static_rational<3>), static rationals should always be accessed through static_rational<N,D>::type. Template specialization prevents instantiation of zero denominators (i.e. static_rational<N,0>). The following compile-time arithmetic operators are provided for static_rational variables only (no operators are defined between long and static_rational):

mpl::negate
mpl::plus
mpl::minus
mpl::times
mpl::divides

Neither static_power nor static_root are defined for static_rational. This is because template types may not be floating point values, while powers and roots of rational numbers can produce floating point values.
