8 | The <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO_<i>z</i></b> macro represents a reentry into the <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO</b> repetition construct. | |
9 | </div> | |
10 | <h4>Usage</h4> | |
11 | <div class="code"> | |
12 | <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO_</b> ## <i>z</i>(<i>first</i>, <i>last</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>) | |
13 | </div> | |
14 | <h4>Arguments</h4> | |
15 | <dl> | |
16 | <dt>z</dt> | |
17 | <dd> | |
18 | The next available <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> dimension. | |
19 | </dd> | |
20 | <dt>first</dt> | |
21 | <dd> | |
22 | The lower bound of the repetition. | |
23 | Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. | |
24 | </dd> | |
25 | <dt>last</dt> | |
26 | <dd> | |
27 | The upper bound of the repetition. | |
28 | Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. | |
29 | </dd> | |
30 | <dt>macro</dt> | |
31 | <dd> | |
32 | A ternary operation of the form <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>n</i>, <i>data</i>). | |
33 | This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> with the next available repetition depth, | |
34 | the current repetition number, and the auxiliary <i>data</i> argument. | |
35 | </dd> | |
36 | <dt>data</dt> | |
37 | <dd> | |
38 | Auxiliary data passed to <i>macro</i>. | |
39 | </dd> | |
40 | </dl> | |
41 | <h4>Remarks</h4> | |
42 | <div> | |
43 | This macro expands to the sequence: | |
44 | <div> | |
45 | <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>first</i>, <i>data</i>) <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>first</i> + <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>) ... <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>last</i> - <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>) | |
46 | </div> | |
47 | </div> | |
48 | <div> | |
49 | The number of repetitions (i.e. <i>last</i> - <i>first</i>) must not exceed <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b>. | |
50 | </div> | |
51 | <div> | |
52 | At certain times, it may be necessary to perform the concatenation with <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> rather than the preprocessor token-pasting operator. | |
53 | This happens when the <i>z</i> value is a macro invocation itself. | |
54 | It needs a delay to allow it to expand. | |
55 | The syntax in such a scenario becomes: | |
56 | <div> | |
57 | <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_FROM_TO_</b>, <i>z</i>)(<i>count</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>). | |
58 | </div> | |
59 | </div> | |
