The <b>BOOST_PP_MUL</b> macro expands to the product of its arguments.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<h4>Usage</h4>
|
|
<div class="code">
|
|
<b>BOOST_PP_MUL</b>(<i>x</i>, <i>y</i>)
|
|
</div>
|
|
<h4>Arguments</h4>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>x</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
The multiplicand of the operation.
|
|
Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
<dt>y</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
The multiplier of the operation.
|
|
Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
<h4>Remarks</h4>
|
|
<div>
|
|
If the product of <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> is greater than <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>, the result is saturated to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div>
|
|
Previously, this macro could not be used inside <b>BOOST_PP_WHILE</b>.
|
|
There is no longer any such restriction.
|
|
It is more efficient, however, to use <b>BOOST_PP_MUL_D</b> in such a situation.
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div>
|
|
This macro is the most efficient when <i>x</i> is greater than or equal to <i>y</i>.
|
|
However, the efficiency gain is not worth actually comparing the two arguments prior to invocation.
|
|
In other words, <i>x</i> should be the value that is <i>most likely</i> to be the largest of the two operands.
