Hi, Boost.Units offers automatic conversion (if conversion factor is defined) on construction of variables:
quantity<cgs::lengh> A = 4.*cgs::centimeter; quantity<si::length> a(A);
nice! But for some reason I believe this would work for argument functions
double f(quantity<si::length> v){ return 1.;} ... quantity<cgs::lengh> A = 4.*cgs::centimeter f(A); // doesn't work! not matching function
why is this? isn't the argument of the call a sort of construction argument for the function argument, or is more like a plain assignment. Is there a way to force the automatic conversion of the function call.
Or I am forced to use this other long call?
f(quantity<si::length>(A));
Yes. The constructor is explicit. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
