8 The <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED</b> macro generates a comma-separated, shifted list.
9 </div>
10 <h4>Usage</h4>
11 <div class="code">
12 <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED</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>.&nbsp;
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>).&nbsp;
24 This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED</b> with the next available repetition depth,
25 the current repetition number, and the auxiliary <i>data</i> argument.&nbsp;
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 comma-separated sequence:
35 <div>
36 <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.&nbsp;
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>.&nbsp;
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_ENUM_SHIFTED_<i>z</i></b>.
46 </div>
47 <div>
48 Previously, this macro could not be used recursively inside <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b>.&nbsp;
49 This limitation no longer exists, as the library can automatically detect the next available repetition depth.
