Hello,
I am trying to generate many types from 1 struct (for full background, please see thread "generate structs with all combinations of members from a given struct"), with the help of Boost.PP
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#define STRUCTMEMBERS ((double,m1))((double,m2))((double,m3))((double,m4))((double,m5))
#define SEQ_LAST_ELEM(seq) \
BOOST_PP_SEQ_ELEM( BOOST_PP_SUB(BOOST_PP_SEQ_SIZE(seq), 1), seq)
#define UPDATE_MAIN_SEQ(mainseq, globalseq)\
BOOST_PP_IF( BOOST_PP_SEQ_SIZE(mainseq),\
BOOST_PP_SEQ_PUSH_BACK(\
mainseq,\
((SEQ_LAST_ELEM(mainseq))(BOOST_PP_SEQ_HEAD(globalseq)))\
),\
((BOOST_PP_SEQ_HEAD(globalseq)))\
)
#define COMBINATIONS(seq, combseq)\
BOOST_PP_IF( BOOST_PP_SEQ_SIZE(seq),\
COMBINATIONS( UPDATE_MAIN_SEQ(combseq,seq), BOOST_PP_SEQ_POP_FRONT(seq) ), \
combseq\
)
#define COMBOS COMBINATIONS(STRUCTMEMBERS, BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL)
COMBOS
Reading PP docs, I just realized that the preprocessor disallows recursion ( the COMBINATIONS macro calls itself in my case), but I didn't understand the reentrancy topic page.
How can I change the above code to make the recursive COMBINATIONS possible?
regards,
