<h4>Introduction</h4>
|
|
<div> The Boost Preprocessing library is a library of macros, with
|
|
support for preprocessor metaprogramming. The library supports
|
|
both C++ and C compilation. It does not depend on any other Boost
|
|
libraries and therefore may be used as a standalone library.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The library assumes that the compiler supports variadic macros.
|
|
Since variadic macros are a C99 or C++11 feature the library
|
|
ostensibly requires at least compilation at those C or C++
|
|
standard levels. A number of compilers support variadic macros at
|
|
a lower level, so it still may be possible using the library at
|
|
the C++03 compilation level, as long as strict C++03 compliance is
|
|
not enforced.<br>

<div> An excerpt from <i>C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts,
|
|
Tools, and Techniques from Boost and Beyond</i> by Dave Abrahams
|
|
and Aleksey Gurtovoy has been made <a

href="AppendixA-AnIntroductiontoPreprocessorMetaprogramming.html"
|
|
target="_top"><font color="blue"><b><u><i>available</i></u></b></font></a>.
|
|
This excerpt contains a basic introduction to the Preprocessor
|
|
library and preprocessor metaprogramming which may help users new
|
|
to the library and users interested in seeing some of the
|
|
facilities offered by the library. </div>
