| <body> |
| <div style="margin-left: 0px;"> The <b>BOOST_PP_OVERLOAD</b> variadic |
| macro expands to the name of a non-variadic macro having a given number of |
| parameters.<br> |
| </div> |
| <h4>Usage</h4> |
| <div class="code"> <b>BOOST_PP_OVERLOAD</b>(<i>prefix</i>,...) <a href="../topics/variadic_macros.html#VNotation" |
| target="_self"><sup>(v)</sup></a><br> |
| </div> |
| <h4>Arguments</h4> |
| <dl> |
| <dt>prefix<br> |
| </dt> |
| <dd> The prefix of the non-variadic macro name. </dd> |
| <dt>...<br> |
| </dt> |
| <dd><i> Variadic data</i>. The number of variadic data |
| elements, as determined by BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_SIZE, is appended to the |
| prefix to form the output non-variadic macro name.<br> |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| <h4>Remarks</h4> |
| <div> This macro creates a macro name which depends on the number of |
| elements of variadic data. It should be used in the form of <br> |
| BOOST_PP_OVERLOAD(MACRO_NAME_,__VA_ARGS__)(__VA_ARGS__) in order to |
| call a non-variadic macro taking a given number of variadic data |
| elements as non-variadic arguments. In this way one can invoke a |
| variadic macro with a variable number of parameters which calls one of |
| a series of non-variadic macros doing very similar things. |
