Boost C++ Libraries

Expands to a numeric value that describes the maximum function arity supported by the library.

Defaults to 20 if not explicitly defined by the user before inclusion of the first library header.

Expands to a sequence of ternary tuples (these data types are defined in the documentation of the Boost Preprocessor library). Each sequence element describes one calling convention specifier. The first element in each tuple is the macro suffix for BOOST_FT_CC_*, the second element is the name of the tag that describes the calling convention and the third is the name of the specifier. The specifier is allowed to be an empty string, so the third tuple element is either BOOST_PP_EMPTY or BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(name).

Define this macro to extend the set of possible names for custom calling conventions. The macro expands to nothing by default.

The following names are predefined by the library and must not occur in the definition of BOOST_FT_CC_NAMES:

#define BOOST_FT_BUILTIN_CC_NAMES \
  (( IMPLICIT           , implicit_cc , BOOST_PP_EMPTY                ))\
  (( CDECL              , cdecl_cc    , BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(__cdecl   ) ))\
  (( STDCALL            , stdcall_cc  , BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(__stdcall ) ))\
  (( PASCAL             , pascal_cc   , BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(pascal    ) ))\
  (( FASTCALL           , fastcall_cc , BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(__fastcall) ))\
  (( CLRCALL            , clrcall_cc  , BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(__clrcall ) ))\
  (( THISCALL           , thiscall_cc , BOOST_PP_IDENTITY(__thiscall) ))\
  (( IMPLICIT_THISCALL  , thiscall_cc , BOOST_PP_EMPTY                )) 
// Don't get confused by the last line, here (thiscall can't be specified
// explicitly prior to MSVC 8).

Enables a specific calling convention. * dentoes the macro suffix, as defined by BOOST_FT_CC_NAMES or BOOST_FT_BUILTIN_CC_NAMES.

The macro expands to a list of restrictions, separated by the | character. Possible items are:

If no such macro is defined for a particular calling convention, it is disabled. Example:

#define BOOST_FT_CC_STDCALL non_variadic|callable_builtin
// enables stdcall calling convention for all non-variadic, 
// callable, builtin types

Defining this macro causes the following macros to be defined, if not defined already:

#define BOOST_FT_CC_CDECL BOOST_FT_COMMON_X86_CCs
#define BOOST_FT_CC_STDCALL non_variadic|BOOST_FT_COMMON_X86_CCs
#define BOOST_FT_CC_FASTCALL non_variadic|BOOST_FT_COMMON_X86_CCs

This macro allows to change the syntax of callable builtin types. It is useful to handle the compiler specific placement of the calling convention specifier.

The default definition is as follows:

#define BOOST_FT_SYNTAX(result,lparen,cc_spec,type_mod,name,rparen) \
          result() lparen() cc_spec() type_mod() name() rparen()

Set to void for compilers that insist on a void parameter for nullary function types, empty by default.

Disables support for cv-qualified function types. Cv-qualified function types are illegal by the current standard version, but there is a pending defect report on that issue. It defaults to 1 until the standard changes, setting this macro to 0 may not work.

Makes the compiler preprocess as much as possible of the library code (rather than loading already-preprocessed header files) if defined.

Makes the compiler preprocess the loop over possible names for custom calling conventions (rather than loading an already-preprocessed header file) if defined.

This macro is defined automatically if BOOST_FT_CC_NAMES has been defined.
