protect is an identity wrapper for a Metafunction Class that prevents its argument from being recognized as a bind expression.
#include <boost/mpl/protect.hpp>
| Parameter | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| F | Metafunction Class | A metafunction class to wrap. |
For any Metafunction Class f:
typedef protect<f> g;
| Return type: | |
|---|---|
| Semantics: | If f is a bind expression, equivalent to
struct g
{
template<
typename U1 = unspecified,... typename Un = unspecified
>
struct apply
: apply_wrapn<f,U1,...Un>
{
};
};
otherwise equivalent to typedef f g;. |
struct f
{
template< typename T1, typename T2 > struct apply
{
typedef T2 type;
};
};
typedef bind< quote3<if_>,_1,_2,bind<f,_1,_2> > b1;
typedef bind< quote3<if_>,_1,_2,protect< bind<f,_1,_2> > > b2;
typedef apply_wrap2< b1,false_,char >::type r1;
typedef apply_wrap2< b2,false_,char >::type r2;
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same<r1,char> ));
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( is_same<r2,protect< bind<f,_1,_2> > > ));
