BOOST_PP_GREATER

The BOOST_PP_GREATER macro compares two values for greater magnitude.

Usage

BOOST_PP_GREATER (x, y)

Arguments

x The left operand of the comparison. Valid values range from 0 to BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG. y The right operand of the comparison. Valid values range from 0 to BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG.

Remarks

If x is greater than y, this macro expands to 1. Otherwise, it expands to 0.

Previously, this macro could not be used inside BOOST_PP_WHILE. There is no longer any such restriction. It is more efficient, however, to use BOOST_PP_GREATER_D in such a situation.
