//! Expands to nothing. Used with BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_IF() and as an unused parameter.
/*!
Example usage as the implementation of BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_COMMA_IF(C):
<PRE>\verbatim
#define BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_COMMA_IF(C)\
BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_IF(C,BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_COMMA,BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_EMPTY)()
\endverbatim</PRE>
Example usage as an unused macro parameter:
<PRE>\verbatim
#define BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEF(CV)\
template<class base> \
CV typename implement_subscript_using_begin_subscript<base>::value_type&\
implement_subscript_using_begin_subscript<base>::operator[]\
( index_type \
i \
) CV \
{ return base::begin()[i]; \
}
BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEF(BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_EMPTY())
BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEF(const)
#undef BOOST_PREPROCESSOR_DEF
\endverbatim</PRE>
The above expands to:
<PRE>\verbatim
template<class base>
typename implement_subscript_using_begin_subscript<base>::value_type&
implement_subscript_using_begin_subscript<base>::operator[]
( index_type
i
)
{ return base::begin()[i];
}
template<class base>
const typename implement_subscript_using_begin_subscript<base>::value_type&
implement_subscript_using_begin_subscript<base>::operator[]
( index_type
i
) const
{ return base::begin()[i];
}
\endverbatim</PRE>
In case you wonder, the above code is part of a generalized layer for
implementing the subscripting operators of a random access container.
