<p>Lambda expressions can also be used to assemble more interesting
|
|
computations from simple metafunctions. For example, the following
|
|
expression, which multiplies the sum of two numbers by their
|
|
difference, is a <strong>composition</strong> of the three metafunctions <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">multiplies</span></tt>,
|
|
<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">plus</span></tt>, and <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">minus</span></tt>:</p>
|
|
<pre class="literal-block">
|
|
mpl::multiplies<mpl::plus<_1,_2>, mpl::minus<_1,_2> >
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<!-- @ example.wrap(apply_test[0],
|
|
', mpl::int_<5>,mpl::int_<3>' + apply_test[1] % 16)
|
|
# Can't exactly justify this yet, but there's no way to get
|
|
# it into the text
|
|

|
|
<p>When evaluating a lambda expression, MPL checks to see if any of its
|
|
arguments are themselves lambda expressions, and evaluates each one
|
|
that it finds. The results of these inner evaluations are substituted
|
|
into the outer expression before it is evaluated.</p>
