Detailed Description

An exponent, or range of exponents.

The purpose of this class is to model exponents such as in a{2}, a{2, 3}, a{-1} etc. To support them, we used to rely on overloads, e.g.,

auto multiply(weight, weight) -> weight; auto multiply(weight, int min, int max = min) -> weight;unfortunately when on Z, the two signatures collide, but not exactly, so the compiler chose the "best" one, which resulted in 3 * 3 = 27 in Z. In turn, this results in <3><3>a = <27>a in Z.

To avoid this collision, we decided that the second signature would be

auto multiply(weight, to{int min, int max = min}) -> weight;

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vcsn::to::to ( int  min_, int  max_  )

inline

Build a exponent range.

Parameters

min	the minimum number. If -1, denotes 0.
max	the maximum number. If -1, denotes infinity, using star. If -2, denotes the same value as min.
