             int val = 0>
    class subtract_with_carry_01 {
    public:
      // types
      typedef RealType result_type;

      // construct/copy/destruct
      subtract_with_carry_01();
      subtract_with_carry_01(uint32_t);
      template<typename It> subtract_with_carry_01(It &, It);

      // public member functions
