The <b>BOOST_PP_MUL_D</b> macro expands to the product of its second and third arguments.&nbsp;
It reenters <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> with maximum efficiency.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_MUL_D</b>(<i>d</i>, <i>x</i>, <i>y</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>d</dt>
<dd>
The next available <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> iteration.&nbsp;
</dd>
<dt>x</dt>
<dd>
The multiplicand of the operation.&nbsp;
Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
</dd>
<dt>y</dt>
<dd>
The multiplier of the operation.&nbsp;
Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
If the product of <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> is greater than <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>, the result is saturated to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
</div>
<div>
This macro is the most efficient when <i>x</i> is less than or equal to <i>y</i>.&nbsp;
However, the efficiency gain is not worth actually comparing the two arguments prior to invocation.&nbsp;
In other words, <i>x</i> should be the value that is <i>most likely</i> to be the largest of the two operands.
