From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Even if angle is added as a dimension, to an implementation using an integer vector, it still wouldn't accommodate any other dimensions added later, without rewriting the library and unit definitions. how about having the basic SI dimensions and a couple of extra

From: David Abrahams [EMAIL PROTECTED] These are my (only slightly informed) opinions. I've heard Walter Brown talk about angle in this context, which was a big influence. Terje Slettebø [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Regarding this angle dimension, should it be treated like the other

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] we use the int-based template approach for a couple of years now in our AGV controller software. We actually sometimes reach the stage that it works when succesfully compiled and linked. Since our control software is physics throughout (field of robotics), the type

[boost] Quantity library: any interest?

2003-04-12 Thread Pavel Vozenilek
I wrote Quantity library some time ago and wonder whether it may get added into Conversion library. If anyone gets interested I will Boostify and submit it. Quantity library is used to get safe conversions between different physical units (like between Celsius and Farhernheit degrees). Instead
