| 8 | The <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> macro represents a fast horizontal repetition construct. |
|---|
| 9 | </div> |
|---|
| 10 | <h4>Usage</h4> |
|---|
| 11 | <div class="code"> |
|---|
| 12 | <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b>(<i>count</i>, <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>) |
|---|
| 13 | </div> |
|---|
| 14 | <h4>Arguments</h4> |
|---|
| 15 | <dl> |
|---|
| 16 | <dt>count</dt> |
|---|
| 17 | <dd> |
|---|
| 18 | The number of repetitious calls to <i>macro</i>. |
|---|
| 19 | Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b>. |
|---|
| 20 | </dd> |
|---|
| 21 | <dt>macro</dt> |
|---|
| 22 | <dd> |
|---|
| 23 | A ternary operation of the form <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>n</i>, <i>data</i>). |
|---|
| 24 | This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> with the next available repetition depth, |
|---|
| 25 | the current repetition number, and the auxiliary <i>data</i> argument. |
|---|
| 26 | </dd> |
|---|
| 27 | <dt>data</dt> |
|---|
| 28 | <dd> |
|---|
| 29 | Auxiliary data passed to <i>macro</i>. |
|---|
| 30 | </dd> |
|---|
| 31 | </dl> |
|---|
| 32 | <h4>Remarks</h4> |
|---|
| 33 | <div> |
|---|
| 34 | This macro expands to the sequence: |
|---|
| 35 | <div> |
|---|
| 36 | <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>0</i>, <i>data</i>) <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>) ... <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>count</i> - <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>) |
|---|
| 37 | </div> |
|---|
| 38 | </div> |
|---|
| 39 | <div> |
|---|
| 40 | The <i>z</i> value that is passed to <i>macro</i> represents the next available repetition dimension. |
|---|
| 41 | Other macros that have <b>_Z</b> suffix variants internally use <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b>--for example, <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS</b> and <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_PARAMS_Z</b>. |
|---|
| 42 | Using these <b>_Z</b> versions is not strictly necessary, but passing the <i>z</i> value (that is passed to <i>macro</i>) to these macros allows them to reenter <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> with maximum efficiency. |
|---|
| 43 | </div> |
|---|
| 44 | <div> |
|---|
| 45 | To directly use this <i>z</i> value, rather than simply passing it to another macro, see <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_<i>z</i></b>. |
|---|
| 46 | </div> |
|---|
| 47 | <div> |
|---|
| 48 | Previously, this macro could not be used recursively inside <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b>. |
|---|
| 49 | This limitation no longer exists, as the library can automatically detect the next available repetition depth. |
