Nod. The only way to prevent collisions is to use more bits and either guids or compile time strings storing the fully qualified name.
Matthias posted about this before and I can't remember the outcome. I was browsing some archived posts about Boost.Typeof and came across this: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/101946/focus=102070 Would that be enough? Usage would look like: #include BOOST_UNITS_ORDINAL_GENERATOR() struct my_unit : ordinal<BOOST_UNITS_NEXT_ORDINAL> { }; Sorry if you guys have been over this ground before. --Michael Fawcett
