Description

arg<n> specialization is a Metafunction Class that return the nth of its arguments.

Header

#include <boost/mpl/arg.hpp>

Parameters

Expression semantics

For any integral constant n in the range [1, BOOST_MPL_LIMIT_METAFUNCTION_ARITY] and arbitrary types a1,... an:

typedef apply_wrapn< arg<n>,a1,...an >::type x;

Example

typedef apply_wrap5< arg<1>,bool,char,short,int,long >::type t1;
typedef apply_wrap5< arg<3>,bool,char,short,int,long >::type t3;

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< t1, bool > ));
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same< t3, short > ));
