[Boost-users] Boost.Operators on a POD class

Hello,

A simplified example of what I am trying to accomplish follows:

// needs to be a POD
struct Point
{
  double x, y;
  // some functions...
};

Now I would like Point to be additive, and multiplicative by double, so
normally I'd write:

struct Point : additive1< Point, multiplicative2< Point, double > >
{
  // supply the needed operators, and let Boost.Operators do the rest
};

But Point needs to be POD, and inheritance kills POD-ness. So I'm wondering,
can Boost help me here?

Regards,
Kris
