<h4>Notation For Variadic Macros<br>
</h4>
<div>In the documentation, headers which have variadic macros,
and
variadic macros themselves, have a notation of '(v)' appended to them.
For the variadic macros themselves this signifies that
BOOST_PP_VARIADICS must be 1 for those variadic macros to be usable.
For variadic macros which have a non-variadic equivalent, the
non-variadic equivalent will be used if BOOST_PP_VARIADICS is set to 0.

possible to
manipulate tuples without having to know the size of the tuple. So
while the invoker can still specify the size when using tuple macro
functionality, there are variadic versions of each of the tuple macros,
with the exact same name as the non-variadic macro, where the size need
not be specified.<br>

for variadic macros. It does this through preprocessor programming and
by using some of the other functionality in the library itself. Header
and macro names
in the library which offer extended support for working with variadic
data, and need the compiler to support variadic macros, are marked with

<h4>C++20 Support For Variadic Macros</h4>
<div>
In the C++20 specification there is a new construct which can be
used in the expansion of a variadic macro, called __VA_OPT__. This
construct when used in the expansion of a variadic macro is followed
by an opening paranthesis ('('), preprocessor data, and a closing
parenthesis ('}'). When the variadic data passed by the invocation
of a variadic macro is empty, this new construct expands to nothing.
When the variadic data passed by the invocation of a variadic macro
is not empty, this new construct expands to the preprocessor data
between its opening and closing parentheses.
<br><br>
This library offers support for this new C++20 construct by automatically
detecting whether this new construct is supported by the compiler's
preprocessor when using the library. The library macro which detects
support for the __VA_OPT__ construct is called BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_HAS_OPT.
This is a function-like macro which takes no parameters and returns
1 if the compiler is working in C++20 mode and supports the __VA_OPT__
construct, while otherwise it returns 0.
<h4><a name="C20_Support_For_Variadic_Macros"></a>C++20 Support For

<div> In the C++20 specification there is a new construct which can
be used in the expansion of a variadic macro, called __VA_OPT__.
This construct when used in the expansion of a variadic macro is
followed by an opening paranthesis '(', preprocessor data, and a
closing parenthesis ')'. When the variadic data passed by the
invocation of a variadic macro is empty, this new construct
expands to nothing. When the variadic data passed by the

expands to the preprocessor data between its opening and closing
parentheses. <br>
<br>
This library offers support for this new C++20 construct by
automatically detecting whether this new construct is supported by
the compiler's preprocessor when using the library. The library
macro which detects support for the __VA_OPT__ construct is called
BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_HAS_OPT. This is a function-like macro which
takes no parameters and returns 1 if the compiler is working in
C++20 mode and supports the __VA_OPT__ construct, while otherwise
it returns 0. <br>
<br>
When the __VA_OPT__ construct is supported in C++20 mode the
variadic data passed to the variadic macros and to
BOOST_PP_OVERLOAD can be empty, otherwise when not in this mode
variadic data passed to the variadic macros should never be empty.
In this C+++20 mode invoking BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_SIZE with empty
data expands to 0, invoking BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_TO_ARRAY with empty
data expands to the empty array '(0,())', invoking
BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_TO_LIST with empty data expands to the empty
list 'BOOST_PP_NIL', and invoking BOOST_PP_OVERLOAD with empty
data creates an overload name with 0 appended. Similarly in this
C++20 mode passing an empty array '(0,())' to BOOST_PP_ARRAY_ENUM
expands to empty variadic data and passing an empty list
'BOOST_PP_NIL' to BOOST_PP_LIST_ENUM also expands to empty
variadic data. Neither a seq or a tuple can be empty so passing
empty variadic data to either BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_TO_SEQ or
BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_TO_TUPLE is erroneous. Likewise passing empty
data to BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM is always erroneous since there are
no tokens of variadic data to access.<br>

<div> There are two ways to pass variadic data to a non-variadic
macro.
The
first of these is to pass the individual tokens of the variadic data
separately to the non-variadic macro using the BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_ELEM
macro in the library.<br>

<div>The second way is to use a macro in the library called
BOOST_PP_OVERLOAD.
This macro allows one to "overload" a variadic macro to non-variadic
macros of different numbers of parameters, using a common prefix.

<div>Although these techniques will work when passing variadic
data to
non-variadic macros, it is much better and less problematical to
work internally with the existing library data types and to only use
variadic
macros as an interface for end-users when there is a need to have a
macro which takes a
variable number of parameters.<br>
