Future Developments

Here, some possible and tentative future developments within the Quantities software package are discussed:

1. extend the concepts of Quantities to cases where dimensionless (dedimensionalized) and dimensioned forms need to be used
2. extend to quantities which are referenced to a certain value
3. extend to quantities with uncertainty of values
4. provide a graphical user interface to quantities; this interface should simplify input and output of values and units, it should not include any further functionality

List of things to do:

1. make the std::vector<ST> base class of QuantityVector `protected' rather than `public'. This does not work at present due to a bug in the Boost library version used (1.34.1), see https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2984
