[section:vmd_detail Functional groups]
|
|
|
|
The particular constructs for which VMD has functionality
|
|
can be divided into these categories:
|
|
|
|
# Emptiness
|
|
# Identifiers
|
|
# Numbers
|
|
# Types
|
|
# Boost PP data types ( array, list, seq, and tuple )
|
|
# Sequences
|
|
# Additional helper variadic macros
|
|
|
|
The first six categories delineate the data types which VMD can parse.
|
|
The last category presents additional macros which will prove helpful
|
|
for a macro programmer using variadic macros with VMD and Boost PP.
|
|
|
|
A general explanation of each of these categories will follow in the
|
|
appropriate place in the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore VMD macros for working with the above data types which VMD
|
|
understands can be divided into 'specific' and 'generic' macros.
|
|
|
|
The specific macros ask whether some input data is a particular
|
|
data type. The generic macros work with input data as any data
|
|
type while allowing the programmer to separately query the type
|
|
of data.
|
|
|
|
Both specific and generic macros have their place and the macro
|
|
programmer can decide which to use for any given situation.
