BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_TPL_STRUCT

Description

BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_TPL_STRUCT is a macro that can be used to generate all the necessary boilerplate to make an arbitrary template struct a model of Random Access Sequence and Associative Sequence.

Synopsis
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_TPL_STRUCT(
    (template_param0)(template_param1)...,
    (struct_name) (specialization_param0)(specialization_param1)...,
    ([member_type0,] member_name0, key_type0)
    ([member_type1,] member_name1, key_type1)
    ...
    )
Semantics

The above macro generates the necessary code to adapt struct_name or an arbitrary specialization of struct_name as a model of Random Access Sequence and Associative Sequence. The sequence (template_param0)(template_param1)... declares the names of the template type parameters used. The sequence (specialization_param0)(specialization_param1)... declares the template parameters of the actual specialization of struct_name that is adapted as a fusion sequence. The sequence of ([member_typeN,] member_nameN, key_typeN) tuples declares the type, name and key type of each of the struct members that are part of the sequence.

When member_typeN is omitted or set to auto, the type is infered with Boost.TypeOf.

The macro should be used at global scope, and struct_name should be the fully namespace qualified name of the struct to be adapted.

Header
#include <boost/fusion/adapted/struct/adapt_assoc_struct.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/adapt_assoc_struct.hpp>
Example
namespace demo
{
    template<typename Name, typename Age>
    struct employee
    {
        Name name;
        Age age;
    };
}

namespace keys
{
    struct name;
    struct age;
}

// Any instantiated demo::employee is now a Fusion sequence.
// It is also an associative sequence with
// keys keys::name and keys::age present.
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_TPL_STRUCT(
    (Name)(Age),
    (demo::employee) (Name)(Age),
    (name, keys::name)
    (age, keys::age))

// Without BOOST_PP_VARIADICS support :
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_TPL_STRUCT(
    (Name)(Age),
    (demo::employee) (Name)(Age),
    (Name, name, keys::name)
    (Age, age, keys::age))
