<div style="margin-left: 0px;">
The <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_FOLD_LEFT</b> macro folds (or accumulates) the elements of a <i>list</i> left-to-right.
</div>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_LIST_FOLD_LEFT</b>(<i>op</i>, <i>state</i>, <i>list</i>)
</div>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<dl>
<dt>op</dt>
<dd>
A ternary operation of the form <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>state</i>, <i>elem</i>).&nbsp;
This macro is called for each element in <i>list</i>--each time returning a new <i>state</i>.&nbsp;
This operation is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_LIST_FOLD_LEFT</b> with the next available <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b> iteration,
the current <i>state</i>, and the current element.
</dd>
<dt>state</dt>
<dd>
The initial state of the fold.
</dd>
<dt>list</dt>
<dd>
The <i>list</i> to be folded.
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>Remarks</h4>
<div>
For the <i>list</i>, (<i>0</i>, (<i>1</i>, (<i>2</i>, <b>BOOST_PP_NIL</b>))), this macro expands to:
<div>
<i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>op</i>(<i>d</i>, <i>state</i>, <i>0</i>), <i>1</i>), <i>2</i>)
</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_FOLD_LEFT_<i>d</i></b> in such a situation.
