Re: [Boost-users] [Boost.Units] quantity<unit> problem with template specialisation algorithm?

many thankyous to the developers of Boost.Units and Boost libraries generally, I have been using them for a few years now and this is my first difficulty.

I have been having some problems when using template specialisation (g++ 4.4.3) with Boost.Units (Boost 1_42_0). When calling a specialised template function I have found that I need to be very careful with the argument,

In short, specialised_templated_function(1.0 * boost::units::si::metre) works fine specialised_templated_function(1 * boost::units::si::metre) specialised function is not found (default tried)

1 * boost::units::si::metre returns boost::units::quantity, which doesn't match boost::units::quantity. You would have the same problem if you used built-in types directly. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
