The BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED_z macro represents a reentry into the BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED repetition construct.

Usage

BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED_ ## z(count, macro, data)

Arguments

z
The next available BOOST_PP_REPEAT dimension.
count
The number of repetitious calls to macro.  Valid values range from 0 to BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT.
macro
A ternary operation of the form macro(z, n, data).  This macro is expanded by BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED with the next available repetition depth, the current repetition number, and the auxiliary data argument. 
data
Auxiliary data passed to macro.

Remarks

This macro expands to the sequence:
macro(z, 1, data), ... macro(z, count - 1, data)
At certain times, it may be necessary to perform the concatenation with BOOST_PP_CAT rather than the preprocessor token-pasting operator.  This happens when the z value is a macro invocation itself.  It needs a delay to allow it to expand.  The syntax in such a scenario becomes:
BOOST_PP_CAT(BOOST_PP_ENUM_SHIFTED_, z)(count, macro, data).
