Boost.Preprocessor

Header <boost/preprocessor/enum.hpp>

#define BOOST_PP_ENUM(COUNT,MACRO,DATA)

Generates a comma separated list.

In other words, expands to the sequence:

MACRO(0,DATA), MACRO(1,DATA), ..., MACRO(BOOST_PP_DEC(COUNT),DATA)

For example,

#define TYPED_PARAM(INDEX,DATA)\
  BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2,0,DATA),INDEX) BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2,1,DATA),INDEX)
BOOST_PP_ENUM(3,TYPED_PARAM,(X,x))

expands to:

X0 x0, X1 x1, X2 x2

2D and 3D repetition

BOOST_PP_ENUM() implements automatic recursion. 2D and 3D repetition are directly supported.

See

BOOST_PP_FOR()
BOOST_PP_LIMIT_DIM
BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG

Test
