template< typename T , typename Shift > struct shift_left { typedef unspecified type; };
Returns the result of bitwise shift left (<<) operation on T.
#include <boost/mpl/shift_left.hpp> #include <boost/mpl/bitwise.hpp>
Parameter | Requirement | Description |
---|---|---|
T | Integral Constant | A value to shift. |
Shift | Unsigned Integral Constant | A shift distance. |
[Note: The requirements listed in this specification are the ones imposed by the default implementation. See Numeric Metafunction concept for the details on how to provide an implementation for a user-defined numeric type that does not satisfy the Integral Constant requirements. — end note]
For arbitrary Integral Constant c and unsigned Integral Constant shift:
typedef shift_left<c,shift>::type r;
Return type: | |
---|---|
Semantics: | Equivalent to typedef integral_c< c::value_type , ( c::value << shift::value ) > r; |
typedef shift_left<c,shift> r;
Return type: | |
---|---|
Semantics: | Equivalent to struct r : shift_left<c,shift>::type {}; |
Amortized constant time.
