<div style="margin-left: 0px;">
The <b>BOOST_PP_FOR_<i>r</i></b> macro represents a reentry into the <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> repetition construct.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_FOR_</b> ## <i>r</i>(<i>state</i>, <i>pred</i>, <i>op</i>, <i>macro</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>r</dt>
<dd>
The next available <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> repetition.
</dd>
<dt>state</dt>
<dd>
The initial state.
</dd>
<dt>pred</dt>
<dd>
A binary predicate of the form <i>pred</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>state</i>).&nbsp;
This macro must expand to an integer in the range of <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.&nbsp;
<b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> repeatedly expands <i>macro</i> while this predicate returns non-zero.&nbsp;
This macro is called with the next available <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> repetition and the current <i>state</i>.
</dd>
<dt>op</dt>
<dd>
A binary operation of the form <i>op</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>state</i>).&nbsp;
This operation is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> with the next available <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> repetition and the current <i>state</i>.&nbsp;
This macro is repeatedly applied to the <i>state</i>, each time producing a new <i>state</i>, until <i>pred</i> returns <i>0</i>.
</dd>
<dt>macro</dt>
<dd>
A binary macro of the form <i>macro</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>state</i>).&nbsp;
This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> with the next available <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> repetition and the current <i>state</i>.&nbsp;
This macro is is repeated by <b>BOOST_PP_FOR</b> until <i>pred</i> returns <i>0</i>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
This macro expands to the sequence:
<div>
<i>macro</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>state</i>) <i>macro</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>op</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>state</i>)) ... <i>macro</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>op</i>(<i>r</i>, ... <i>op</i>(<i>r</i>, <i>state</i>) ... ))
</div>
</div>
<div>
At certain times, it may be necessary to perform the concatenation with <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> rather than the preprocessor token-pasting operator.&nbsp;
This happens when the <i>r</i> value is a macro invocation itself.&nbsp;
It needs a delay to allow it to expand.&nbsp;
The syntax in such a scenario becomes:
<div>
<b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<b>BOOST_PP_FOR_</b>, <i>r</i>)(<i>state</i>, <i>pred</i>, <i>op</i>, <i>macro</i>)
</div>
</div>
