6957,Boost.units: static pow<>() fails for quantities with non-double type,Anna Jaruga <ajaruga@…>,Matthias Schabel,"Below is a short example depicting that pow<>() works only in the quantity in the argument has double precision representation. Hope that helps.



ajaruga@granda:~/icicle$ cat test.cpp 
#include <boost/units/pow.hpp>
#include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp>
using namespace boost::units;

int main() {
  quantity<si::length, real_t> a = 1 * si::metres;
  quantity<si::volume, real_t> b = pow<3>(a);
}
ajaruga@granda:~/icicle$ g++ -Dreal_t=double test.cpp && echo OK
OK
ajaruga@granda:~/icicle$ g++ -Dreal_t=float test.cpp && echo OK
