Re: [Boost-users] [units] Missing quantity operator++, operator%

If one or more of you can put together a proposed patch, I can take a look at it. Otherwise, I will try to put it on my fairly long to-do list... Maybe also submit a ticket? Thanks, Matthias

All,

I'm in the process of switching my homegrown units system over to boost units. Some operators which I'm missing are the modulus and the pre and post increment operators. If you look at "++" and "--" as "x + 1" and "x - 1", then they don't make sense. Put if you look at them as successor and predecessor, then they would make sense for any type where such ordering can be established. So, the operators should be supported, but call the inner type's version of those operators instead of causing a compile error (unless the inner type doesn't have those operators).

Agreed.

I haven't found anything regarding the modulus operator. My question is, would a patch adding those operators be accepted?

Hopefully.

(I'm assuming that addition is also commutative.) Note that quotients are unit-less scalars, while remainders have the same units as the main type (used for the divisor and dividend).

I agree with this also.

Pinging again in hopes that one of the units maintainers sees. . .
