+Overview +

+

+ BOOST_EXPLICIT_OPERATOR_BOOL() and BOOST_CONSTEXPR_EXPLICIT_OPERATOR_BOOL() are compatibility helper macros that expand + to an explicit conversion operator to bool. + For compilers not supporting explicit conversion operators introduced in C++11 + the macros expand to a conversion operator that implements the safe + bool idiom. In case if the compiler is not able to handle safe bool + idiom well the macros expand to a regular conversion operator to bool. +

+
+
+

+Examples +

+

+ Both macros are intended to be placed within a user's class definition. The + generated conversion operators will be implemented in terms of operator!() + that should be defined by user in this class. In case of BOOST_CONSTEXPR_EXPLICIT_OPERATOR_BOOL() the generated conversion operator will be + declared constexpr which requires + the corresponding operator!() + to also be constexpr. +

+
template< typename T >
+class my_ptr
+{
+    T* m_p;
+
+public:
+    BOOST_EXPLICIT_OPERATOR_BOOL()
+
+    bool operator!() const
+    {
+        return !m_p;
+    }
+};
+
+

+ Now my_ptr can be used in conditional + expressions, similarly to a regular pointer: +

+
my_ptr< int > p;
+if (p)
+    std::cout << "true" << std::endl;
+
