Ah yes, forgot that. My gut feeling is that Boost.Math should concentrate on the um... math: provide a nice simple implementation that's reasonably efficient too. And libraries like Boost.Units can overload it for dimentioned-quantities, and use the Boost.Math version for the internal calculation. Does this make sense?
Unfortunately, calls like pow<1>(x) will not use ADL. So it becomes difficult to write generic functions.
I guess the question is can we evaluate half-powers more efficiently than just using pow? Maybe, but it's not so obvious to me as it is for smallish integer powers.
Not that I know of. I'm more interested in polymorphism than performance. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
