Boost::units developers / users,<br><br>I need to specify a U.S. Barrel (bbl) for purposes of performing conversions and so forth.<br><br>First, does this definition look about right? Second, how does one propose an addition to the units code base?<br>
<br>Note, I&#39;m not quite sure how the 2^3 scaling from gallon to pints works in terms of scaling from barrel to gallons, or pints for that matter, so I am assuming that gallon can be the base unit for barrel and call it good.<br>
<br>Thoughts, questions, concerns?<br><br>        namespace us {<br><br>            typedef scaled_base_unit&lt;gallon_base_unit, scale&lt;42&gt; &gt; barrel_base_unit;<br><br>        } // namespace us<br><br>        template&lt;&gt;<br>
        struct base_unit_info&lt;us::barrel_base_unit&gt; {<br>            static const char* name()   { return(&quot;bbl (U.S.)&quot;); }<br>            static const char* symbol() { return(&quot;bbl&quot;); }<br>        };<br>
<br>Thank you...<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Michael<br>
