Hi,
I've been reading the documentation for Boost.Units. I understand most of
what it is saying, but am still confused on how to do many things with this
library.
Most of the examples are using that test_system.hpp. Does this mean that you
actually have to explicitly define the units you want to use?
I am confused because I see the header files for the units I want to use,
e.g., light_year or astronomical_unit, but I can't figure out how to
actually use them. If I use boost::units::astronomical::light_second, it
cannot find it. I am able to use the SI units just fine, such as:
Quantitysi::length l = 4.0 * si::meters;
But beyond that, I'm lost.
I also don't know which headers I should include. I don't know if there's
one or two headers that include all the basics I would need, or if I have to
include each of them individually.
Here's a simple program I was trying to write just to test light_second, but
do not know how to make it work or which headers to include:
int main()
{
using namespace boost::units;
using namespace boost::units::astronomical;
using namespace std;
quantity
