<h4>Introduction</h4>
|
|
<div> The Boost Preprocessing library is a library of macros, with
|
|
support for preprocessor metaprogramming. The library supports
|
|
both C++ and C compilation. It does not depend on any other Boost
|
|
libraries and therefore may be used as a standalone library.<br>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div>The library requires that the compiler supports <a
|
|
href="topics/variadic_macros.html">variadic macros</a>. Since
|
|
variadic macros are a C99 or C++11 feature the library ostensibly
|
|
requires at least compilation at those C or C++ standard levels. A
|
|
number of compilers support variadic macros at a lower level, so
|
|
it still may be possible using the library at that compilation
|
|
level, as long as strict C++98/C++03 compliance is not enforced.<br>
|
|

|
<div> An excerpt from <i>C++ Template Metaprogramming: Concepts,
|
|
Tools, and Techniques from Boost and Beyond</i> by Dave Abrahams
|
|
and Aleksey Gurtovoy has been made <a
|
|
href="AppendixA-AnIntroductiontoPreprocessorMetaprogramming.html"
|
|
target="_top"><font color="blue"><b><u><i>available</i></u></b></font></a>.
|
|
This excerpt contains a basic introduction to the Preprocessor
|
|
library and preprocessor metaprogramming which may help users new
|
|
to the library and users interested in seeing some of the
|
|
facilities offered by the library. </div>
