Thanks I see. I'm at work now and can't test it but would replacing the comma in ARG_PAIR with *BOOST_PP_COMMA help?* On Thu, Jul 7, 2016 at 1:49 AM, Edward Diener <eldiener@tropicsoft.com> wrote:

Hi, I'm trying to make a macro chain that expands something like this
*A, B, C*
into something like this
*{"A", create<AFile>}, {"B", create<BFile>}, {"C", create<CFile>}*
This is what I have come up with
*#define FORMATS A, B, C // Add new formats here* *#define SEQ_FORMATS BOOST_PP_VARIADIC_TO_SEQ(FORMATS)* *#define ARG_PAIR(s, data, x) {#x, create<x##File>}* *#define SEQ_ARG_PAIRS BOOST_PP_SEQ_TRANSFORM(ARG_PAIR, ~, SEQ_FORMATS)* *#define ARG_PAIRS BOOST_PP_SEQ_ENUM(SEQ_ARG_PAIRS)*
The SEQ_ARG_PAIRS macro does expand into
*({"A", create<AFile>}) ({"B", create<BFile>}) ({"C", create<CFile>})*
but ARG_PAIRS fails with the following error:
test.cpp:20:1: error: macro "BOOST_PP_SEQ_SIZE_0" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1 ARG_PAIRS ^ BOOST_PP_SEQ_ENUM_0 ({"B", create<BFile>}) ({"C", create<CFile>}) ({"A", create<AFile>}) ({"B", create<BFile>}) ({"C", create<CFile>})
Any ideas?
The reason for this is because after your transformation you do not have a valid seq anymore for BOOST_PP_SEQ_ENUM. Each seq element must be a one element tuple. The comma ( ',' ) in each seq element no longer makes that seq element valid, producing a two element tuple. Something like '({"A", create<AFile>})' really containes two elements of data, the first one being '{"A"' and the second one being 'create<AFile>}'.
thanks a lot
