The BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT macro
+ defines the maximum number of repetitions supported by each BOOST_PP_REPEAT
+ dimension.
+
Usage
+
BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT
+
Remarks
+
This macro current expands to 256.
+
+ NOTE: for the current latest versions of Microsoft's VC++ compiler there
+ is a nested macro limit of 256. This means in actuality that the number of
+ repetitions using VC++ is actually less than 256 depending on the
+ repetition macro being used. For the BOOST_PP_REPEAT macro this limit
+ appears to be 252 while for the BOOST_PP_ENUM... series of macros this
+ limit appears to be around 230, before the VC++ compiler gives a "C1009:
+ compiler limit : macros nested too deeply" error. This is a compiler
+ limitation of VC++ which may vary depending on the specific repetition
+ macro being used, and therefore is not a problem the preprocessor library
+ can solve.
