<div style="margin-left: 0px;"> The <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b>
macro defines the maximum number of repetitions supported by each

<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code"> <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b> </div>
<h4>Remarks</h4>

<div>This macro expands by default to <i>256</i>. The end-user can
change this to 512 or 1024 by defining this macro to either value
before including any library headers, as long as the end-user also
defines the <a
href="file:///E:/Programming/VersionControl/modular-boost/libs/preprocessor/doc/ref/limit_mag.html">BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</a>
macro to be equal to or greater than this value. <br>

NOTE: for the current latest versions of default preprocessor for
Microsoft's VC++ compiler there is a nested macro limit of 256.
This means in actuality that the number of repetitions using VC++
is actually less than 256 depending on the repetition macro being
used. For the BOOST_PP_REPEAT macro this limit appears to be 252
while for the BOOST_PP_ENUM... series of macros this limit appears
to be around 230, before the VC++ compiler gives a "C1009:
compiler limit : macros nested too deeply" error. This is a
compiler limitation of VC++ which may vary depending on the
specific repetition macro being used, and therefore is not a
problem the preprocessor library can solve. This limitation of the
default preprocessor for VC++ does not exist for the new standard
conforming preprocessor for VC++ in Visual Studio 2019 invoked
with the<code> /Zc:preprocessor</code> switch.<br>
