Deane, Paul, and any others who have had the time to play with the mcs::units code/documentation - In the hopes of getting some traction on a discussion of requirements for a boostified dimensional analysis/units library, do you have any comments on the interface/design/implementation/functionality. What features are missing that would be desirable? Are there other issues that should be addressed in the library. Is it worth expending the effort to prepare it for Boost review? Is the documentation adequate? What else would need to be done to get the library Boost ready (other then license changes)? Any input would be welcome. Matthias
That is, for some arbitrary value types X and Y for which (warning pseudocode ahead)
Z operator+(X x,Y y)
is defined
quantity<Z> operator+(quantity<X> x,quantity<Y> y)
will work and behave as expected...
I need this feature!
If you want to be at the bleeding edge, you can give it a try. I've uploaded this code as Vault/Units/mcs_units_hetero_op.zip. I think it should work on non-g++ compilers (but _without_ heterogenous operator functionality), but no guarantees. Everything except power<N> and root<N> seems to work for me. Try unit_example_6.cpp to get a feel for it...
Cheers,
Matthias
