Why it exists
qtty-cpp gives C++ projects typed units, literals, and conversions without hiding what is happening underneath. It uses the same conversion engine as qtty, so the rules stay consistent across languages.
Key Features
- Strong types per unit to prevent dimension mixing
- Unit conversion via Quantity::to<T>()
- User-defined literals (10.0_km, 5.0_s)
- Generated headers from qtty-ffi definitions
- CMake target for easy integration
Getting Started
// CMakeLists.txt
add_subdirectory(path/to/qtty-cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE qtty_cpp)
// main.cpp
#include "qtty/qtty.hpp"
using namespace qtty;
auto distance = 100.0_km;
auto time = 2.0_h;
auto speed = distance / time;
Meter m = distance.to<Meter>(); Contributing
