The RANT Library provides ranged integers and floating point types for C++11.
Over and under runs can be both, a correctness and security threat. RANT therefore provides runtime checking of ranges. Range violations produce exceptions which can then be handled safely.
Checks are supposed to be lightweight enough to be included in production code. If required, ranged types can be replaced by their native counterparts via compile flag to get rid of any overhead.
