Hi,
I'd like to solicit interest in the following brief proposals for inclusion in the Boost library.
cla (Command-Line Arguments) - A generic C++ framework for parsing command-line arguments. The library design would be based on the popt (http://www.rpm.org/dark_corners/popt/) library.
uom (Units Of Measure) - A generic C++ framework for arithmetic calculations and conversions between different units of measure. The library design would be based on The Units Of Measure Library (http://tuoml.sourceforge.net/).
You might also want to look at the extensible UCAR udunits C-library for ideas/possibilities et al. The benifit here is that it's extensible by users using a text database of relations. On the downside, it's cumbersome to use. Nonetheless, here's a URL of the manpage: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/udunits/man.php?udunits+3 This library can be downloaded with source code.
Questions and comments welcomed.
Thanks, Eric.
