Macro BOOST_TTI_HAS_DATA

BOOST_TTI_HAS_DATA — A macro which expands to a metafunction which tests whether member data or static member data with a particular name and type exists.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/tti/has_data.hpp>

BOOST_TTI_HAS_DATA(name)

Description

BOOST_TTI_HAS_DATA is a macro which expands to a metafunction. The metafunction tests whether member data or static member data with a particular name and type exists. The macro takes the form of BOOST_TTI_HAS_DATA(name) where

name = the name of the inner data.

BOOST_TTI_HAS_DATA generates a metafunction called "has_data_name" where 'name' is the macro parameter.

template<class BOOST_TTI_TP_T,class BOOST_TTI_TP_TYPE>
struct has_data_'name'
  {
  static const value = unspecified;
  typedef mpl::bool_<true-or-false> type;
  };

The metafunction types and return:

  BOOST_TTI_TP_T    = the enclosing type in which to look for our 'name'
                      The enclosing type can be a class, struct, or union.
                      If the type is a union, static member data can only
                      be found if the C++11 unrestricted union is implemented
                      by the compiler being used, since prior to C++11 a union
                      could not have static data members.
  
  BOOST_TTI_TP_TYPE = The type of the member data or static member.
  
  returns  = 'value' is true if the 'name' exists, with the correct data type,
             otherwise 'value' is false.
