xo-unit documentation
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
xo-unit is a lightweight header-only library that provides compile-time
|
|
dimension checking and unit conversion.
|
|
|
|
Functionality is similar in spirit to that provided by ``boost::units``;
|
|
however there are some important differences:
|
|
|
|
* interchangeable compile-time / run-time unit representation.
|
|
* constexpr string representation for things like unit abbreviations.
|
|
* supports fractional dimensions, for concepts like volatility.
|
|
* integration with python (see sister project xo-pyunit)
|
|
|
|
Second, ``xo-unit`` supports fractional dimensions. This allows using it to naturally handle
|
|
concepts like volatility (dimension 1/sqrt(time)), for example.
|
|
|
|
Finally, ``xo-unit`` is written with the expectation of providing
|
|
python integration via pybind11. This requires a parallel set of data structures that can work at
|
|
runtime (since we can't construct new c++ types at runtime).
