Function overloading for "integral" types

Question

Suppose there are types of "temperature"(T) and "distance"(D). Both, indeed, could be declared as usual typedefs:

typedef int T; // might be C++11 'using' 
typedef int D;

But if I want an overloaded functions:

void f(T) {}  
void f(D) {}

it will not work, because both types are identical.

Which most modern C++-way to realize such an overload?

It is clear that for those types must be distinguishable for compiler.

Answer 1

BOOST_STRONG_TYPEDEF is made exactly for this purpose.
