Detailed Description

template<class NUMBER>
class stir::NumericInfo< NUMBER >

class NumericInfo<NUMBER> defines properties for the type NUMBER.

The idea comes the ANSI C++ class std::numeric_limits, but some compiler didn't have this yet when PARAPET/STIR was started. This current class should disappear at some point.

Note that this general template is essentially empty, but it is needed to use template syntax.

Warning

It could be better to have some error in here, flagging (at compile time) when you use it for a type which is not yet in our list. With the current implementation, you will see a linker error only, something like 'undefined reference NumericInfo<complex>::signed_type()'
