failed to compile on Julia v1.0

when using Measurements in Julia 1.0, it fails

How should it be solved? Many thanks!!

[giordano]

Try switching to master branch, it should support julia 0.7 and thus julia 1.0

[yangcht]

Hi Mosè, I tried to switch to the master branch by

(v1.0) pkg> add Measurements#master

But I got a similar error when I compile it for use:

Ok, I will have to look into this. Now I'm on vacation without a computer, it'll take some days

[yangcht]

Thanks! And enjoy your vacation!!

[giordano]

For the record, this package passed CI without warnings about 20 days before release of julia 1.0: https://travis-ci.org/JuliaPhysics/Measurements.jl/jobs/406597690 thus either there have been late breaking changes or deprecation warnings were missing.

[yangcht]

Could this be an issue related to the dependent packages?

[giordano]

No, from a cursory look at the code I think it's an issue in this package, but until a few days ago it worked without warnings

[giordano]

Fixed in #19
