The <b>BOOST_PP_COMMA_IF</b> macro conditionally expands to a comma.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_COMMA_IF</b>(<i>cond</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>cond</dt>
<dd>
The condition that determines if a the macro expands to a comma or nothing.&nbsp;
Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
If <i>cond</i> expands to <i>0</i>, this macro expands to nothing.&nbsp;
Otherwise, it expands to a comma.
</div>
<div>
The preprocessor interprets commas as argument separators in macro invocations.&nbsp;
Because of this, commas require special handling.
