<div style="margin-left: 0px;">
The <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE_<i>d</i></b> macro represents a reentry into the <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> looping construct.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_WHILE_</b> ## <i>d</i>(<i>pred</i>, <i>op</i>, <i>state</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>d</dt>
<dd>
The next available <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> iteration.
</dd>
<dt>pred</dt>
<dd>
A binary predicate of the form <i>pred</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>state</i>).&nbsp;
This predicate is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> with the next available
iteration <i>d</i> and the current <i>state</i>.&nbsp;
This predicate must expand to value in the range of <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
The construct continues to loop until this predicate returns <i>0</i>.&nbsp;
When this predicate returns <i>0</i>, <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> returns the current <i>state</i>.
</dd>
<dt>op</dt>
<dd>
A binary operation of the form <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>state</i>).&nbsp;
This operation is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> with the next available
iteration <i>d</i> and the current <i>state</i>.&nbsp;
This macro is repeatedly applied to the <i>state</i>, each time producing a new <i>state</i>, until <i>pred</i> returns <i>0</i>.
</dd>
<dt>state</dt>
<dd>
The initial state.&nbsp;
Often this argument is a <i>tuple</i>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
This macro iterates <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>state</i>) while <i>pred</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>state</i>) is non-zero.&nbsp;
In other words expands to:
<div>
<i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, ... <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>state</i>)) ... ).
</div>
</div>
<div>
At certain times, it may be necessary to perform the concatenation with <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> rather than the preprocessor token-pasting operator.&nbsp;
This happens when the <i>d</i> value is a macro invocation itself.&nbsp;
It needs a delay to allow it to expand.&nbsp;
The syntax in such a scenario becomes:
<div>
<b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<b>BOOST_PP_WHILE_</b>, <i>d</i>)(<i>pred</i>, <i>op</i>, <i>state</i>).
</div>
</div>
<div class="incompatibility">
Previously, it was possible to concatenate <i>d</i> directly to <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> (without the trailing underscore).&nbsp;
This is no longer supported.
</div>
