BOOST_PP_LESS

The BOOST_PP_LESS macro compares two values for lesser magnitude.

Usage

BOOST_PP_LESS (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 less 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_LESS_D in such a situation.
