# `mp-units` - A Physical Quantities and Units library for C++
**The mp-units library might be the subject of ISO standardization for C++29.
More on this can be found in ISO C++ paper [P1935](https://wg21.link/p1935) and
[Using std::cpp 2023 talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XSVCmWQklI).
We are actively looking for parties interested in field trialing the library.**

**NOTE: The master branch right now is under heavy development of the V2 framework.
For now it compiles only on gcc-12+. In the upcoming months a lot of efforts will be done to
enable the rest of mainstream compilers and update the documentation to reflect the V2 design.**
## Documentation
An extensive project documentation for the previous release library version can be found on
[mp-units GitHub Pages](https://mpusz.github.io/mp-units). It includes installation instructions and user's guide.
## Terms and Definitions
This project uses the official metrology vocabulary defined by the ISO and BIPM.
Please familiarize yourself with those terms to better understand the documentation
and improve domain-related communication and discussions. You can find essential
project-related definitions in [our documentation's "Glossary" chapter](https://mpusz.github.io/mp-units/glossary.html).
Even more terms are provided in the official vocabulary of the [ISO](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:std:iso-iec:guide:99:ed-1:v2:en)
and [BIPM](https://jcgm.bipm.org/vim/en).
## TL;DR
`mp-units` is a compile-time enabled Modern C++ library that provides compile-time dimensional
analysis and unit/quantity manipulation.
Here is a small example of possible operations:
```cpp
#include <mp-units/systems/si/si.h>
using namespace mp_units::si::unit_symbols;
// simple numeric operations
static_assert(10 * km / 2 == 5 * km);
// unit conversions
static_assert(1 * h == 3600 * s);
static_assert(1 * km + 1 * m == 1001 * m);
// dimension conversions
inline constexpr auto kmph = km / h;
static_assert(1 * km / (1 * s) == 1000 * (m / s));
static_assert(2 * kmph * (2 * h) == 4 * km);
static_assert(2 * km / (2 * kmph) == 1 * h);
static_assert(2 * m * (3 * m) == 6 * m2);
static_assert(10 * km / (5 * km) == 2);
static_assert(1000 / (1 * s) == 1 * kHz);
```

This library heavily uses C++20 features (concepts, classes as NTTPs, ...). Thanks to
them the user gets a powerful but still easy to use interfaces and all unit conversions
and dimensional analysis can be performed without sacrificing on runtime performance or
accuracy. Please see the below example for a quick preview of basic library features:
```cpp
#include <mp-units/format.h>
#include <mp-units/iostream.h>
#include <mp-units/systems/international/international.h>
#include <mp-units/systems/isq/space_and_time.h>
#include <mp-units/systems/si/si.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace mp_units;
constexpr QuantityOf<isq::speed> auto avg_speed(QuantityOf<isq::length> auto d,
QuantityOf<isq::time> auto t)
{
return d / t;
}
int main()
{
using namespace mp_units::si::unit_symbols;
using namespace mp_units::international::unit_symbols;
constexpr auto v1 = 110 * (km / h);
constexpr auto v2 = 70 * mph;
constexpr auto v3 = avg_speed(220. * km, 2 * h);
constexpr auto v4 = avg_speed(isq::distance(140. * mi), 2 * isq::duration[h]);
constexpr auto v5 = v3[m / s];
constexpr auto v6 = value_cast<m / s>(v4);
constexpr auto v7 = value_cast<int>(v6);
std::cout << v1 << '\n'; // 110 km/h
std::cout << v2 << '\n'; // 70 mi/h
std::cout << std::format("{}", v3) << '\n'; // 110 km/h
std::cout << std::format("{:*^14}", v4) << '\n'; // ***70 mi/h****
std::cout << std::format("{:%Q in %q}", v5) << '\n'; // 30.5556 in m/s
std::cout << std::format("{0:%Q} in {0:%q}", v6) << '\n'; // 31.2928 in m/s
std::cout << std::format("{:%Q}", v7) << '\n'; // 31
}
