Description

BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_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.

Synopsis

BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_TPL_STRUCT(
    (template_param0)(template_param1)...,
    (struct_name) (specialization_param0)(specialization_param1)...,
    member_name0,
    member_name1
    ...
    )

// Without BOOST_PP_VARIADICS support :
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_TPL_STRUCT(
    (template_param0)(template_param1)...,
    (struct_name) (specialization_param0)(specialization_param1)...,
    (member_type0, member_name0)
    (member_type1, member_name1)
    (auto, member_name2),
    ...
    )

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. 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_nameN, arguments or (member_typeN, member_nameN) pairs declares the type and names 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.

Example

namespace demo
{
    template<typename Name, typename Age>
    struct employee
    {
        Name name;
        Age age;
        int employment_timestamp;
    };
}

// Any instantiated demo::employee is now a Fusion sequence
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_TPL_STRUCT(
    (Name)(Age),
    (demo::employee) (Name)(Age),
    (Name, name)
    (Age, age)
    (auto, employment_timestamp))

// Or by infering type completely
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_TPL_STRUCT(
    (Name)(Age),
    (demo::employee) (Name)(Age),
    name,
    age,
    employment_timestamp)
