The only other problem I had with Metrowerks was a partial ordering problem which can be fixed by passing unit<...> by reference to the various functions
Fixed for the next release...
Because we were working in parallel the include guard for dimension.hpp was not updated.
Fixed.
Neither were those in boost/units/systems
Fixed. I've also changed the CGS system to parallel the SI system in directory structure/granularity.
I successfully compiled and ran all the examples using msvc 7.1. I did not verify the output.
Excellent. So, to summarize : GCC 4.0.X compiles and runs correctly MSVC 8.0 compiles and runs correctly MSVC 7.1 compiles and runs - correctness not checked MWCW 9.2 compiles - problems with partial ordering (fixed), problems with isfinite, etc... (not fixed yet) Has anyone else successfully compiled/used the library with other compilers?
All the static const objects in the library cause ODR violations for functions that use them. You can avoid this by only putting a reference in the unnamed namespace.
Thanks for coming up with a fix. I was just avoiding having to put them in a .cpp file - your solution looks much more appealing. Let me test it out... Matthias
