Description

proto::expr<> is a node in an expression template tree. It is a container for its child sub-trees. It also serves as the terminal nodes of the tree.

Tag is type that represents the operation encoded by this expression. It is typically one of the structs in the boost::proto::tag namespace, but it doesn't have to be. If Arity is 0 then this expr<> type represents a leaf in the expression tree.

Args is a list of types representing the children of this expression. It is an instantiation of one of proto::list1<>, proto::list2<>, etc. The child types must all themselves be either proto::expr<> or proto::expr<>& (or extensions thereof via proto::extends<> or BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS()), unless Arity is 0, in which case Args must be proto::term<T>, where T can be any type.

proto::expr<> is a valid Fusion random-access sequence, where the elements of the sequence are the child expressions.

expr public static functions

  1. template<typename... A> static expr const make(A const &... a);

    Requires:

    The number of supplied arguments must be max(Arity,1).

    Returns:

    A new expr object initialized with the specified arguments.

expr public member functions

  1. expr & proto_base();

    Returns:

    *this

  2. expr const & proto_base() const;

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

  3. template<typename A> unspecified operator=(A & a);

    Lazy assignment expression

    Returns:

    A new expression node representing the assignment operation.

  4. template<typename A> unspecified operator=(A const & a);

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

  5. template<typename A> unspecified operator=(A & a) const;

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

  6. template<typename A> unspecified operator=(A const & a) const;

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

  7. template<typename A> unspecified operator[](A & a);

    Lazy subscript expression

    Returns:

    A new expression node representing the subscript operation.

  8. template<typename A> unspecified operator[](A const & a);

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

  9. template<typename A> unspecified operator[](A & a) const;

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

  10. template<typename A> unspecified operator[](A const & a) const;

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

  11. template<typename... A> unspecified operator()(A const &... a);

    Lazy function call

    Returns:

    A new expression node representing the function call operation.

  12. template<typename... A> unspecified operator()(A const &... a) const;

    This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
