Struct template extract_or_default

boost::log::result_of::extract_or_default — A metafunction that allows to acquire the result of the value extraction.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/log/attributes/value_extraction.hpp>

template<typename T, typename DefaultT, typename TagT> 
struct extract_or_default {
  // types
  typedef mpl::eval_if< mpl::is_sequence< T >, mpl::eval_if< mpl::contains< T, DefaultT >, mpl::identity< T >, mpl::push_back< T, DefaultT > >, mpl::if_< is_same< T, DefaultT >, T, mpl::vector2< T, DefaultT > > >::type extracted_type;
  typedef mpl::if_< mpl::is_sequence< extracted_type >, value_ref< extracted_type, TagT >, extracted_typeconst & >::type                                                                                                   type;          
};

Description

The metafunction results in a type that is in form of T const&, if T is not an MPL type sequence and DefaultT is the same as T, or value_ref< TypesT, TagT > otherwise, with TypesT being a type sequence comprising the types from sequence T and DefaultT, if it is not present in T already.
