/*************************************************************************/
30
A framework to easily handle different return types for hybrid items
31
(hybrid item is an item whose operand can be of any type, e.g. integer,
35
class Hybrid_type_traits;
44
Use two decimal buffers interchangeably to speed up += operation
45
which has no native support in decimal library.
46
Hybrid_type+= arg is implemented as dec_buf[1]= dec_buf[0] + arg.
47
The third decimal is used as a handy temporary storage.
49
my_decimal dec_buf[3];
53
Traits moved to a separate class to
54
a) be able to easily change object traits in runtime
55
b) they work as a differentiator for the union above
57
const Hybrid_type_traits *traits;

/* XXX: add traits->copy() when needed */

Hybrid_type(const Hybrid_type &rhs) :traits(rhs.traits) {}
