Thanks for your help so far! I know I'm probably just making this too difficult, but it's still not working. I guess I should just post a complete sample so that we can eliminate the snip factor from the list of possible causes (I put them in the boost namespace for the sake of consistency but the same problem arises regardless).
<snip>
void foo() { using boost::units::quantity; using namespace boost::units::data_capacity;
//Both of these fail with the message that there is no conversion to the destination //type because the construcor is explicit quantity<data_capacity> compressed_size = 1000 * bytes; quantity<data_capacity, int> compressed_size2 = 1000 * bytes;
Implicit conversion between different units is not allowed. Try quantity<data_capacity> compressed_size(1000 * bytes);
//Succeeds but gives a horribly long warning about conversion from 'double' to 'const int' //at file 'boost/units/detail/conversion_impl.hpp(342)', reference to class template instantiation at //boost/units/quantity.hpp(182) quantity<data_capacity, int> compressed_size3(1000 * bytes); }
I'll commit a fix as soon as the regression tests finish locally. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
