| 8 | The <b>BOOST_PP_MAX</b> macro expands to the greater of its two arguments. |
| 9 | </div> |
| 10 | <h4>Usage</h4> |
| 11 | <div class="code"> |
| 12 | <b>BOOST_PP_MAX</b>(<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>) |
| 13 | </div> |
| 14 | <h4>Arguments</h4> |
| 15 | <dl> |
| 16 | <dt>x</dt> |
| 17 | <dd> |
| 18 | The first operand. |
| 19 | Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. |
| 20 | </dd> |
| 21 | <dt>y</dt> |
| 22 | <dd> |
| 23 | The second operand. |
| 24 | Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. |
| 25 | </dd> |
| 26 | </dl> |
| 27 | <h4>Remarks</h4> |
| 28 | <div> |
| 29 | This macro returns the greater of its two arguments or the value of both arguments if they are equal. |
| 30 | </div> |
| 31 | <div> |
| 32 | Previously, this macro could not be used inside <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b>. |
| 33 | There is no longer any such restriction. |
| 34 | It is more efficient, however, to use <b>BOOST_PP_MAX_D</b> in such a situation. |
