Unit Types

Defines a series of classes which represent units. These types are tags used by the conversion function, to create compound units, or to create unit_t types. By themselves, they are not containers and have no stored value. More...

Typedef Documentation

compound_unit

template<class U , class... Us>

using units::compound_unit = typedef typename units::detail::compound_impl<U, Us...>::type

Represents a unit type made up from other units.

Compound units are formed by multiplying the units of all the types provided in the template argument. Types provided must inherit from unit. A compound unit can be formed from any number of other units, and unit manipulators like inverse and squared are supported. E.g. to specify acceleration, on could create using acceleration = compound_unit<length::meters, inverse<squared<seconds>>;

Template Parameters

U...	units which, when multiplied together, form the desired compound unit.
