Ah no - apparently anything but simple.

You might want to see Jean-Marie Favre's (very readable, amusing)
papers on subject. Much of the behaviour of CPP is not defined and
often inaccurately described, certainly it wouldn't appear to make an
ideal one summer, student project.

There are some others as well from his home page.

Best wishes
