| Synopsis |
| -------- |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| template< |
| bool c |
| , typename T1 |
| , typename T2 |
| > |
| struct if_c |
| { |
| typedef |unspecified| type; |
| }; |
| |
| |
| |
| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| Returns one of its two arguments, ``T1`` or ``T2``, depending on the value of |
| integral constant ``c``. ``if_c<c,t1,t2>::type`` is a shorcut notation for |
| ``if_< bool_<c>,t1,t2 >::type``. |

| Header |

| #include <boost/mpl/if.hpp> |
| |
| |
| Parameters |
| ---------- |
| |
| +---------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ |
| | Parameter | Requirement | Description | |
| +===============+===================================+===============================================+ |
| | ``c`` | An integral constant | A selection condition. | |
| +---------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ |
| | ``T1``, ``T2``| Any type | Types to select from. | |
| +---------------+-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+ |
| |
| |
| Expression semantics |
| -------------------- |
| |
| For any integral constant ``c`` and arbitrary types ``t1``, ``t2``: |
| |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| typedef if_c<c,t1,t2>::type t; |
| |
| :Return type: |
| Any type. |
| |
| :Semantics: |
| Equivalent to ``typedef if_< bool_<c>,t1,t2 >::type t;`` |
| |
| |
| Example |
| ------- |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| typedef if_c<true,char,long>::type t1; |
| typedef if_c<false,char,long>::type t2; |
| |
| BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same<t1, char> )); |
| BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same<t2, long> )); |
| |
| |
| .. parsed-literal:: |
| |
| // allocates space for an object of class T on heap or "inplace" |
| // depending on its size |
| template< typename T > struct lightweight |
| { |
| // ... |
| typedef typename if_c< |
| sizeof(T) <= sizeof(T*) |
| , inplace_storage<T> |
| , heap_storage<T> |
| >::type impl_t; |
| |
| impl_t impl; |
| }; |
