The Units of Measure Library / News: Recent posts

After major rework and some fancy template magic, I have 2.1 working with gcc. Here are some of the highlights:

- Removed implicit double conversions. This has been the source of many errors using the library.

- Made value type a template parameter, defaults to double. You can now use float or even integer types.

- Added generic type-safe arithmetic. You can now make arbitrary arithmetic combinations of units!... read more

I've confirmed the compile problems with gcc 3.4.x have been fixed and the fixes don't break the .NET build.

Updated to compile with latest compilers. .NET fixed
many problems preventing the Debug and test apps
from building with MSVC++ 6.0. The package still
compiles as well as it ever did on older compiler
versions.

The latest release, 1.4.9, now builds and runs with gcc 3.1. The mods are backward-
compatible. These have been tested on Linux and Solaris.

Added interaction operators for AngularAcceleration, Length, and Speed.

This version fixes some compile problems on Linux.
Now works on Windows, Solaris, and Linux.

Version 1.4.6 of The Units of Measure Library has been released. See
http://tuoml.sourceforge.net
This library contains C++ classes that provide type-safe units of measure
for various 1, 2, and 3 dimensional properties. It makes it very difficult
to incorrectly mix, say, feet and meters; however, it does not introduce
any run-time penalty for it. All the units type checking is done at compile
time by the compiler.... read more
