safe_numerics
C++ library providing safe numeric types that throw exceptions on arithmetic errors like overflow and underflow.
What is safe_numerics?
safe_numerics is a C++ library that provides safe replacements for standard integer types like int and unsigned int. It solves the problem of undefined arithmetic behavior in C++ by throwing exceptions when operations would result in overflow, underflow, or other errors that normally go undetected.
C++ developers working on safety-critical applications, financial systems, embedded software, or any code where numeric correctness is essential and silent arithmetic errors could cause serious issues.
Developers choose safe_numerics because it provides a straightforward way to catch dangerous numeric operations without changing their code's structure, offering runtime safety while maintaining the performance characteristics of standard C++ types.
