|Integral Constant|


Parameters

+---------------+-------------------------------+---------------------------+
| Parameter     | Requirement                   | Description               |
+===============+===============================+===========================+
| ``N``         | An integral constant          | A value to wrap.          | 
+---------------+-------------------------------+---------------------------+

| Expression        | Semantics                                                 |
+===================+===========================================================+
| ``int_<c>``       | An |Integral Constant| ``x`` such that ``x::value == c``  |
|                   | and ``x::value_type`` is identical to ``int``.            |

Example
-------

.. parsed-literal::

    typedef int_<8> eight;
    
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< eight::value_type, int > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< eight::type, eight > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< next< eight >::type, int_<9> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< prior< eight >::type, int_<7> > ));
    BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( (eight::value), ==, 8 );
    assert( eight() == 8 );
