Would it be possible to add BOOST_PP_RESET_COUNTER() macro. The effect is to reset BOOST_PP_COUNTER to zero.
The purpose of the counter is to provide a globally unique number--across includes and across libraries. If actually need a variable, you should use the slot mechanism instead. It is a little more wordy, but it gives you more control over what the value actually is. #define BOOST_PP_VALUE 0 #include BOOST_PP_ASSIGN_SLOT(1) BOOST_PP_SLOT(1) // 0 #define BOOST_PP_VALUE BOOST_PP_SLOT(1) + 1 #include BOOST_PP_ASSIGN_SLOT(1) BOOST_PP_SLOT(1) // 1 // etc. We could add a BOOST_PP_SLOT_INC macro to shorten this.
