Using Units, Quantities, and Dimensions in C++14
Offered By: ACCU Conference via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the potential of zero-cost abstraction capabilities in C++14 for safer computation of physical properties in this ACCU 2016 conference talk. Discover how incorporating physical dimensions into the type system can enhance code safety and clarity. Learn about the benefits of using units, quantities, and dimensions in C++ programming, and compare the approaches of Boost::Units and Martin Moene's PhysUnits C++11 library. Gain insights into implementing a modern C++14 DIY guideline for working with physical units. Understand the importance of moving away from plain double or float representations for physical units and adopting a dedicated units library. Explore the speaker's vision for standardizing a units library in future ISO C++ standards and how you can contribute to this effort. Access accompanying slides and code examples on GitHub to reinforce your understanding of the concepts presented.
