mp-units - Lessons Learned and a New C++ Library Design

Explore the evolution and redesign of mp-units, a Modern C++ library for compile-time dimensional analysis and unit/quantity manipulation, in this comprehensive conference talk from ACCU 2023. Delve into the challenges faced with the initial design, including issues with the Downcasting Facility and user-defined literals. Discover how the new design addresses additional requirements and leverages C++20 features like concepts and non-type template parameters. Gain insights into potential C++ language features that could enhance similar library designs. Learn from Mateusz Pusz, an experienced software architect and ISO C++ Committee member, as he shares valuable lessons and demonstrates the power of Modern C++ in creating efficient and flexible libraries.
