FAQ

How + does one distinguish between quantities that are physically different but have + the same units (such as energy and torque)?
+
Angles are treated as + units
+
Why are there + homogeneous systems? Aren't heterogeneous systems sufficient?
+
Why can't + I construct a quantity directly from the value type?
+
Why are conversions + explicit by default?

+

+ The Boost.Units library is a C++ implementation of dimensional analysis in + a general and extensible manner, treating it as a generic compile-time metaprogramming + problem. 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. +

+

+ In order to enable complex compile-time dimensional analysis calculations with + no runtime overhead, Boost.Units relies heavily on the Boost Metaprogramming Library + (MPL) and on template metaprogramming techniques, and is, as a consequence, + fairly demanding of compiler compliance to ISO standards. At present, it has + been successfully compiled and tested on the following compilers/platforms + : +

+
    +
  1. + g++ 4.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.4 +
    2. +
  2. + Intel CC 9.1, 10.0, and 10.1 on Mac OSX 10.4 +
    3. +
  3. + g++ 3.4.4, 4.2.3, and 4.3.0 on Windows XP +
    4. +
  4. + Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1, 8.0, and 9.0 on Windows XP +
    5. +
  5. + Comeau 4.3.10.1 beta2 on Windows XP +
    6. +
  6. + Metrowerks CodeWarrior 9.2 on Windows XP. +
    7. +
  7. + Sun CC 5.9 on Solaris and Linux +
    8. +
+

+ The following compilers/platforms are known not + to work : +

+
    +
  1. + g++ 3.3.x +
    2. +
  2. + Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows XP +
    3. +
  3. + Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0 on Windows XP +
    4. +
  4. + Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8.0 on Windows XP. +
    5. +
  5. + All versions of Borland. +
