I'm doing a good amount of scientific programming and made very good experiences with both Boost.Units, which provides compile-time dimensional analysis for quantities (i.e. tags quantities with un...

I'm working on a software design in which I'd like to leverage Boost.Units. Some of the units I'd like to use represent time, however, I'm inclined to use the C++11 std::chrono units for those sinc...

I need to make a conversion from a general angular_velocity to degrees/second. To illustrate this problem the example boostUnits.cpp: #include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp> #include <boos...

Conceptually it seems to me that using unit enforcing based types (Meters, Seconds, Kilograms) would have massive benefits (extra checking in passing args, getting rid of unit names in vars, etc) a...

Consider the following code: #include <boost/units/io.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/si/plane_angle.hpp> #include <boost/units/systems/angle/degrees.hpp> #include <iostrea...

I need to pass the value of a quantity to a library for evaluation. The boost units library takes double values in SI, so the boost units library is very appealing in ensuring that requirement. How...

Now that we soon have user defined literals (UDL), in GCC 4.7 for example, I'm eagerly waiting for (physical) unit libraries (such as Boost.Units) using them to ease expression of literals such as ...

I want to use boost::units for some SI metrics. However our code mostly deals with millimeters and instead of using quantity<length> value = 1*milli*meter; we would prefer something like ...

I'm trying to create units for meter and kilometer. I want then to sum and convert them accordingly. I know that the boost::units library has already SI system, but I want create all from scratch, ...

I am currently using boost::units to represent torque in si units, however I am given the torque in pound feet. I am attempting thus to create a pound_foot unit of torque and a conversion to suppor...
