| The <b>BOOST_PP_ADD</b> macro expands to the sum of its arguments. |
| </div> |
| <h4>Usage</h4> |
| <div class="code"> |
| <b>BOOST_PP_ADD</b>(<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>) |
| </div> |
| <h4>Arguments</h4> |
| <dl> |
| <dt>x</dt> |
| <dd> |
| The first addend of the operation. |
| Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. |
| </dd> |
| <dt>y</dt> |
| <dd> |
| The second addend of the operation. |
| Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| <h4>Remarks</h4> |
| <div> |
| If the sum of <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> is greater than <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>, the result is saturated to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. |
| </div> |
| <div> |
| Previously, this macro could not be used inside <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b>. |
| There is no longer any such restriction. |
| It is more efficient, however, to use <b>BOOST_PP_ADD_D</b> in such a situation. |
| </div> |
| <div> |
| This macro is the most efficient when <i>x</i> is less than or equal to <i>y</i>. |
| However, the efficiency gain is not worth actually comparing the two arguments prior to invocation. |
| In other words, <i>x</i> should be the addend that is <i>most likely</i> to be the largest of the two operands. |
