With appropriate compiler optimization, no runtime execution cost + is introduced, facilitating the use of this library to provide dimension checking + in performance-critical code. Support for units and quantities (defined as + a unit and associated value) for arbitrary unit system models and arbitrary + value types is provided, as is a fine-grained general facility for unit conversions. + Complete SI and CGS unit systems are provided, along with systems for angles + measured in degrees, radians, gradians, and revolutions and systems for temperatures + measured in Kelvin, degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. The library architecture + has been designed with flexibility and extensibility in mind; demonstrations + of the ease of adding new units and unit conversions are provided in the examples. + </p> +<p> + In order to enable complex compile-time dimensional analysis calculations with + no runtime overhead, Boost.Units relies heavily on the <span class="underline"><a href="http://www.boost.org/libs/mpl/doc/index.html" target="_top">Boost Metaprogramming Library</a></span> + (MPL) and on template metaprogramming techniques, and is, as a consequence, + fairly demanding of compiler compliance to ISO standards.
