# Report from the Kona 2023 ISO C++ Committee meeting
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Several groups in the ISO C++ Committee reviewed the [P1935: A C++ Approach to Physical Units](https://wg21.link/p1935)
|
||||||
|
proposal in Belfast 2019 and Prague 2020. All those groups expressed interest in the potential
|
||||||
|
standardization of such a library and encouraged further work. The authors also got valuable
|
||||||
|
initial feedback that highly influenced the design of the V2 version of the mp-units library.**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In the following years, we scoped on getting more feedback from the production and design and
|
||||||
|
developed version 2 of the **mp-units** library that resolves many issues raised by the users and
|
||||||
|
Committee members. The features and interfaces of this version are close to being the best we can
|
||||||
|
get with the current version of the C++ language standard.
|
||||||
|

||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the last ISO C++ Committee meeting, we provided three new proposals related to the
|
||||||
|
standardization of the quantities and units library:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- [P2980: A motivation, scope, and plan for a physical quantities and units library](https://wg21.link/p2980R1),
|
||||||
|
- [P2981: Improving our safety with a physical quantities and units library](https://wg21.link/p2981R1),
|
||||||
|
- [P2982: `std::quantity` as a numeric type](https://wg21.link/p2982R1).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Those were reviewed and briefly discussed in several groups: Numerics (SG6), Safety & Security
|
||||||
|
(SG23), and Library Evolution Working Group (LEWG). Most of the feedback was positive, and
|
||||||
|
the Committee is interested in spending more time on such proposals.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Outcome: Strong consensus in favor
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additionally, some concerns were raised about the large scope of the proposal. We were encouraged
|
||||||
|
to come back with more details and design rationale in a unified paper. This is what we are working
|
||||||
|
on now for the next Committee meeting that will happen in mid-March 2024 in Tokyo.
