在提升单位和持续时间之间转换

Question

我正在从事一个涉及许多测量的项目，我想使用升压单位来确保单位转换正确。我首先介绍了一些 typedef 来简化符号：

#include <boost/units/cmath.hpp>
#include <boost/units/io.hpp>
#include <boost/units/systems/si.hpp>
#include <boost/units/systems/si/io.hpp>

#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>

namespace Time = boost::posix_time;

typedef Time::ptime DateTime;
typedef Time::time_duration Duration;

namespace Units
{
  using namespace boost::units;

  namespace SI
  {
    using namespace boost::units::si;
  }

  template <class U> using Quantity = quantity<U>;

  typedef Quantity<SI::length> Length;
  typedef Quantity<SI::velocity> Velocity;
  typedef Quantity<SI::time> Time;
}

我编写了一些代码来使用这些单位计算距离和旅行时间：

// a computation of distances which yields a length
Units::Length distance = origin.distance(destination);

Units::Velocity flight_speed(100 * Units::SI::meter / Units::SI::second);

Units::Time flight_time = distance / flight_speed;

DateTime departure_time = ...

DateTime arrival_time = departure_time + flight_time; // does not work..

这引出了我的问题：是否有一些内置方法可以在Duration（又名boost::posix_time::time_duration）和time_durationUnits::Quantity<SI::time>（又名boost::units::quantity<boost::units::si::time>）之间进行转换？看起来这应该是内置的，但我在文档中没有找到任何关于它的内容。

Answer 1

你必须做的工作：

DateTime arrival_time = departure_time +
     boost::posix_time::seconds(flight_time / Units::SI::second);

当然，您可以将转换隐藏在各种帮助器中：

static inline DateTime operator+(DateTime const &lhs, Units::Time const &rhs) {
    return lhs + Time::seconds(rhs / Units::SI::second);
}
static inline DateTime operator-(DateTime const &lhs, Units::Time const &rhs) {
    return lhs - Time::seconds(rhs / Units::SI::second);
}

现在你可以写了

auto arrival_time = departure_time + flight_time;
