| The <b>BOOST_PP_LPAREN_IF</b> macro conditionally expands to a left parenthesis. |
| </div> |
| <h4>Usage</h4> |
| <div class="code"> |
| <b>BOOST_PP_LPAREN_IF</b>(<i>cond</i>) |
| </div> |
| <h4>Arguments</h4> |
| <dl> |
| <dt>cond</dt> |
| <dd> |
| The condition that determines if a the macro expands to a left parenthesis or nothing. |
| Valid values range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG</b>. |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| <h4>Remarks</h4> |
| <div> |
| If <i>cond</i> expands to <i>0</i>, this macro expands to nothing. |
| Otherwise, it expands to a left parenthesis. |
| </div> |
| <div> |
| The preprocessor interprets parentheses as delimiters in macro invocations. |
| Because of this, parentheses require special handling. |
