| 8 | The <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> macro concatenates its arguments after they have been expanded. |
| 9 | </div> |
| 10 | <h4>Usage</h4> |
| 11 | <div class="code"> |
| 12 | <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<i>a</i>, <i>b</i>) |
| 13 | </div> |
| 14 | <h4>Arguments</h4> |
| 15 | <dl> |
| 16 | <dt>a</dt> |
| 17 | <dd> |
| 18 | The left operand of the concatenation. |
| 19 | </dd> |
| 20 | <dt>b</dt> |
| 21 | <dd> |
| 22 | The right operand of the concatenation. |
| 23 | </dd> |
| 24 | </dl> |
| 25 | <h4>Remarks</h4> |
| 26 | <div> |
| 27 | The preprocessor token-pasting operator (<b>##</b>) prevents arguments from expanding. |
| 28 | This macro allows its arguments to expand before concatenation. |
| 29 | </div> |
| 30 | <div> |
| 31 | Concatenation must not result in an invocation of a macro that uses <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>. |
| 32 | If that happens, <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> will not expand the second time. |
