Math Questions

[dvdeug@my-deja.com]

I'm working on a number library for Ada, and I came across some
problems?

(1)Is there any way of dealing with infinity in real numbers in Ada
(like IEEE's +INF)? In my bound float unit, it would be much nicer to
store it as between 1 and infinity than just throw a Constraint Error.

(2)I'd like to create a IEEE745 type, but then you couldn't use it as
the base type for the bound float unit. Is there any way to make a type
look like a number to generics?

(3)Alternately, is there any way to make a generic package accept both
standard floats and any number-like types I create?
