The FAQ entry on homogeneous systems asks the reader to consider the
following:
cout << sin(asin(180.0 * degrees));
There are two problems with this:
1. It won't compile because asin does not take an angle.
2. Even with the order of asin and sin swapped, the example is
confusing because it isn't clear if the results should be
180 degrees, or 0 degrees.
Improve the explanation by swapping sin and asin and using 90 degrees.
Boost.Units
Boost.Units, part of collection of the Boost C++ Libraries, implements dimensional analysis in a general and extensible manner, treating it as a generic compile-time metaprogramming problem. With appropriate compiler optimization, no runtime execution cost is introduced, facilitating the use of this library to provide dimension checking in performance-critical code.
