The <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_TRANSFORM</b> macro transforms each element in a <i>list</i> according to a supplied transformation.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_LIST_TRANSFORM</b>(<i>op</i>, <i>data</i>, <i>list</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>op</dt>
<dd>
A ternary predicate of the form <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>data</i>, <i>elem</i>).&nbsp;
This transformation is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_TRANSFORM</b> for each element in <i>list</i> with the next available <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> iteration,
the auxiliary <i>data</i>, and the current element in <i>list</i>.&nbsp;
</dd>
<dt>data</dt>
<dd>
Auxiliary data passed to <i>pred</i>.
</dd>
<dt>list</dt>
<dd>
The <i>list</i> to be transformed.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
This macro expands <i>op</i> for each element in <i>list</i>.&nbsp;
It builds a new <i>list</i> out of the results of each call.&nbsp;
If, for example, <i>list</i> is (<i>a</i>, (<i>b</i>, (<i>c</i>, <b>BOOST_PP_NIL</b>))),
this macro expands to...
<div>
(<i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>data</i>, <i>a</i>), (<i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>data</i>, <i>b</i>), (<i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>data</i>, <i>c</i>), <b>BOOST_PP_NIL</b>)))
</div>
</div>
<div>
Previously, this macro could not be used inside <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b>.&nbsp;
There is no longer any such restriction.&nbsp;
It is more efficient, however, to use <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_TRANSFORM_D</b> in such a situation.
