<div style="margin-left: 0px;">
The <b>BOOST_PP_SET_FOLD_LEFT</b> macro folds (or accumulates) the elements of a <i>set</i> left-to-right.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_SET_FOLD_LEFT</b>(<i>op</i>, <i>state</i>, <i>set</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>op</dt>
<dd>
A ternary operation of the form <i>op</i>(<i>s</i>, <i>state</i>, <i>elem</i>).&nbsp;
This macro is called for each element in <i>set</i>--each time returning a new <i>state</i>.&nbsp;
This operation is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_SET_FOLD_LEFT</b> with the next available fold step,
the current <i>state</i>, and the current element.
</dd>
<dt>state</dt>
<dd>
The initial state of the fold.
</dd>
<dt>set</dt>
<dd>
The <i>set</i> to be folded.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
For the <i>set</i>, (<i>0</i>)(<i>1</i>)(<i>2</i>), this macro expands to:
<div>
<i>op</i>(<i>s</i>, <i>op</i>(<i>s</i>, <i>op</i>(<i>s</i>, <i>state</i>, <i>0</i>), <i>1</i>), <i>2</i>)
</div>
</div>
<div>
For maximum efficiency, <b>BOOST_PP_SET_FOLD_LEFT</b> can be reentered with <b>BOOST_PP_SET_FOLD_LEFT_<i>s</i></b>.
