Hi,
FYI, I have just submitted a change (85040) that breaks the interface of the distance strategies. Generally speaking, the change is that those strategies no longer need to be templated with the point type - a strategy can work on any point type once instantiated. More specifically:
- pythagoras<Point1, Point2, CalculationType> becomes pythagoras<CalculationType>
- haversine<Point1, Point2, CalculationType> becomes haversine<RadiusType, CalculationType> - the RadiusType parameter will typically be the points' coordinate type, but you might choose something else e.g. for performance reasons
- projected_point<Point, PointOfSegment, CalculationType, Strategy> becomes projected_point<CalculationType, Strategy>
- cross_track<Point, PointOfSegment, CalculationType,
Strategy> becomes cross_track<CalculationType, Strategy>
Of course this doesn't impact you if you never explicitly specify a strategy to use for distance calculations (i.e. if you rely on the default ones).
If you write your own strategies, the impact might be more important. The most noticeable internal change is that similar_type/get_similar disappear, as this change makes them irrelevant.
