The <b>BOOST_PP_SUB</b> macro expands to the difference between its arguments.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_SUB</b>(<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>x</dt>
<dd>
The minuend of the operation.&nbsp;
Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
</dd>
<dt>y</dt>
<dd>
The subtrahend 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 difference between <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> is less than <i>0</i>, the result is saturated to <i>0</i>.
</div>
<div>
Previously, this macro could not be used inside <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b>.&nbsp;
There is no longer any such restriction.&nbsp;
It is more efficient, however, to use <b>BOOST_PP_SUB_D</b> in such a situation.
