You should try replacing the ## with BOOST_PP_CAT. The Preprocessor doc indicates that using ## directly can cause the preprocessor to terminate expansion.

Subject: [Boost-users] BOOT_PP_REPEAT simple nesting problem
Hi all, I'm trying to use BOOST_PP to generate some code.
I can generate the sequence int x_0 to int x_4 using the code below.
#include
#define DECL1(z, n, text) text ## _ ## n = n; #define decl1(text, count) BOOST_PP_REPEAT(count, DECL1, text)
decl1 (int x, 5)
What I'd like to do is write a decl2 that can be used something like
this:
decl2 (int x, 5, 2)
to generate int x_0_0 to int x_4_1
I've tried nesting BOOST_PP_REPEAT but so far I've been unable to produce the desired behaviour unless I hardcode one of the iteration counts.
I'd like to also eventually write a decl3(int x, 5, 3, 4) when I understand how a decl2 would work. Any help much appreciated!
Regards,
Colin
