Kyle:

Interesting.

An explicit specialization of a template function was not made inline, 
causing an ODR (One Definition Rule) violation when you have more than 
1 linked object file. Try changing:

boolean.h:50

From:

template <> float boolean_of <float> (bool b)

To:

template <> inline float boolean_of <float> (bool b)

boolean.h:60

From:

template <> double boolean_of <double> (bool b)

To:

template <> inline double boolean_of <double> (bool b)

See if that now compiles and links.

I'll have to weed out any other functions with the same problem, and 
release that in the next version. Thanks for the report!


Cheers, Glen Low
