Hello Alexander, The issue regarding physical unit types has been raised a couple of times on this newsgroup; however no agreement has been reached so far concerning the functionalities such a library should provide, nor on its design. I developed a small library for that purpose (new version under: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/physical_units_library.tar.gz ) which provides compile-time safety for physical units and functionality for run-time conversions, though it has no proper documentation (its on the way.) This library so far has covered my needs. Some examples on how to define units' types with the library:
type_list_canonizer<boost::mpl::vector< dimension_type_generator< meterPolicy<>,1>::type > >::type meter_typelist; type_list_canonizer<boost::mpl::vector< dimension_type_generator< meterPolicy<kilo>,1>::type > >::type kilometer_typelist; type_list_canonizer<boost::mpl::vector< dimension_type_generator< my_unit<>,1>::type > >::type self_defined_unit_typelist; unit<double, kilometer_typelist> km(1.0); unit<float, meter_typelist> m(km); std::cout << m << '\t'; // output: 1000 m Regards, -- vladimir josef sykora morphochem AG gmunder str. 37-37a 81379 muenchen tel. ++49-89-78005-0 fax ++49-89-78005-555 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.morphochem.de "Alexander Dz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi All, > > I'm participating in pretty complicated scientific > project.
