Overview
Mp11 is a C++11 metaprogramming library for compile-time manipulation of data structures that contain types. It’s based on template aliases and variadic templates and implements the approach outlined in the article "Simple C++ metaprogramming" and its sequel. Reading these articles before proceeding with this documentation is highly recommended.
The general principles upon which Mp11 is built are that algorithms and metafunctions are
template aliases of the form F<T…> and data structures are lists of the form L<T…>,
with the library placing no requirements on L. mp_list<T…> is the built-in list type,
but std::tuple<T…>, std::pair<T1, T2> and std::variant<T…> are also perfectly
legitimate list types, although of course std::pair<T1, T2>, due to having exactly two elements,
is not resizeable and will consequently not work with algorithms that need to add or remove
elements.
Another distinguishing feature of this approach is that lists (L<T…>) have the same form as
metafunctions (F<T…>) and can therefore be used as such. For example, applying std::add_pointer_t
to the list std::tuple<int, float> by way of mp_transform<std::add_pointer_t, std::tuple<int, float>>
gives us std::tuple<int*, float*>, but we can also apply mp_list to the same tuple:
using R = mp_transform<mp_list, std::tuple<int, float>>;
and get std::tuple<mp_list<int>, mp_list<float>>.
Definitions
A list is a — usually but not necessarily variadic — template class whose parameters are all types,
for example mp_list<char[], void>, mp_list<>, std::tuple<int, float, char>, std::pair<int, float>, std::shared_ptr<X>.
A metafunction is a class template or a template alias whose parameters are all types, for example std::add_pointer_t,
std::is_const, mp_second, mp_push_front, mp_list, std::tuple, std::pair, std::shared_ptr, or
template<class...> using F1 = void;
template<class T> using F2 = T*;
template<class... T> using F3 = std::integral_constant<std::size_t, sizeof...(T)>;A quoted metafunction is a class with a public metafunction member called fn, for example
struct Q1 { template<class...> using fn = void; };
struct Q2 { template<class T> using fn = T*; };
struct Q3 { template<class... T> using fn =
std::integral_constant<std::size_t, sizeof...(T)>; };An integral constant type is a class with a public member value that is an integral constant in the C++ sense. For example,
std::integral_constant<int, 7>, or
struct N { static int constexpr value = 2; };
A set is a list whose elements are unique.
A map is a list of lists, the inner lists having at least one element (the key.) The keys of the map must be unique. For example,
using M1 = std::tuple<std::pair<int, int*>, std::pair<float, float*>,
std::pair<void, void*>>;
using M2 = mp_list<mp_list<int, int*>, mp_list<float>,
mp_list<char, char[1], char[2]>>;A value list is a template class whose parameters are all values (non-type template parameters.) Value lists
match template<auto…> class L, and require C++17 (because auto template parameters are a C++17 feature.)
Value lists are only supported by a handful of the primitives. Mp11’s primary focus is on type manipulation. For
working with lists of values, the usual approach is to convert the value list to a type list using mp_rename,
manipulate the type list, then convert back to a value list using mp_rename_v.
Examples
Generating Test Cases
Let’s suppose that we have written a metafunction result<T, U>:
template<class T> using promote = typename std::common_type<T, int>::type;
template<class T, class U> using result =
typename std::common_type<promote<T>, promote<U>>::type;that ought to represent the result of an arithmetic operation on the integer types T and U,
for example t + u. We want to test whether result<T, U> gives correct results for various combinations
of T and U, so we write the function
template<class T1, class T2> void test_result()
{
using T3 = decltype( T1() + T2() );
using T4 = result<T1, T2>;
std::cout << ( std::is_same<T3, T4>::value? "[PASS]": "[FAIL]" ) << std::endl;
}and then need to call it a substantial number of times:
int main()
{
test_result<char, char>();
test_result<char, short>();
test_result<char, int>();
test_result<char, unsigned>();
// ...
}
Writing all those type combinations by hand is unwieldy, error prone, and worst of all, boring. This is how we can leverage Mp11 to automate the task:
#include <boost/mp11.hpp>
#include <boost/core/demangle.hpp>
#include <type_traits>
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>
using namespace boost::mp11;
template<class T> std::string name()
{
return boost::core::demangle( typeid(T).name() );
}
template<class T> using promote = typename std::common_type<T, int>::type;
template<class T, class U> using result =
typename std::common_type<promote<T>, promote<U>>::type;
template<class T1, class T2> void test_result( mp_list<T1, T2> const& )
{
using T3 = decltype( T1() + T2() );
using T4 = result<T1, T2>;
std::cout << ( std::is_same<T3, T4>::value? "[PASS] ": "[FAIL] " )
<< name<T1>() << " + " << name<T2>() << " -> " << name<T3>()
<< ", result: " << name<T4>() << std::endl;
}
int main()
{
using L = std::tuple<char, short, int, unsigned, long, unsigned long>;
tuple_for_each( mp_product<mp_list, L, L>(), [](auto&& x){ test_result(x); } );
}How does it work?
mp_product<F, L1, L2> calls F<T1, T2> where T1 varies over the elements of L1 and T2 varies over
the elements of L2, as if by executing two nested loops. It then returns a list of these results, of the same
type as L1.
In our case, both lists are the same std::tuple, and F is mp_list, so mp_product<mp_list, L, L> will get us
std::tuple<mp_list<char, char>, mp_list<char, short>, mp_list<char, int>, …, mp_list<unsigned long, long>, mp_list<unsigned long, unsigned long>>.
We then default-construct this tuple and pass it to tuple_for_each. tuple_for_each(tp, f) calls f for every
tuple element; we use a (C++14) lambda that calls test_result.
In pure C++11, we can’t use a lambda with an auto&& parameter, so we’ll have to make test_result a function object with
a templated operator() and pass that to tuple_for_each directly:
struct test_result
{
template<class T1, class T2> void operator()( mp_list<T1, T2> const& ) const
{
using T3 = decltype( T1() + T2() );
using T4 = result<T1, T2>;
std::cout << ( std::is_same<T3, T4>::value? "[PASS] ": "[FAIL] " )
<< name<T1>() << " + " << name<T2>() << " -> " << name<T3>()
<< ", result: " << name<T4>() << std::endl;
}
};
int main()
{
using L = std::tuple<char, short, int, unsigned, long, unsigned long>;
tuple_for_each( mp_product<mp_list, L, L>(), test_result() );
}Writing common_type Specializations
The standard trait std::common_type, used to obtain a type to which all of its arguments can convert without
unnecessary loss of precision, can be user-specialized when its default implementation (based on the ternary ?:
operator) is unsuitable.
Let’s write a common_type specialization for two std::tuple arguments. For that, we need a metafunction that
applies std::common_type to each pair of elements and gathers the results into a tuple:
template<class... T> using common_type_t =
typename std::common_type<T...>::type; // standard in C++14
template<class Tp1, class Tp2> using common_tuple =
mp_transform<common_type_t, Tp1, Tp2>;then specialize common_type to use it:
namespace std
{
template<class... T1, class... T2>
struct common_type<std::tuple<T1...>, std::tuple<T2...>>:
mp_defer<common_tuple, std::tuple<T1...>, std::tuple<T2...>>
{
};
} // std(There is no need to specialize std::common_type for more than two arguments - it takes care of synthesizing the appropriate semantics from
the binary case.)
The subtlety here is the use of mp_defer. We could have defined a nested type to common_tuple<std::tuple<T1…>, std::tuple<T2…>>,
and it would still have worked in all valid cases. By letting mp_defer define type, though, we make our specialization SFINAE-friendly.
That is, when our common_tuple causes a substitution failure instead of a hard error, mp_defer will not define a nested type,
and common_type_t, which is defined as typename common_type<…>::type, will also cause a substitution failure.
As another example, consider the hypothetical type expected<T, E…> that represents either a successful return with a value of T,
or an unsuccessful return with an error code of some type in the list E…. The common type of expected<T1, E1, E2, E3> and
expected<T2, E1, E4, E5> is expected<common_type_t<T1, T2>, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5>. That is, the possible return values are
combined into their common type, and we take the union of the set of error types.
Therefore,
template<class T1, class E1, class T2, class E2> using common_expected =
mp_rename<mp_push_front<mp_unique<mp_append<E1, E2>>, common_type_t<T1, T2>>,
expected>;
namespace std
{
template<class T1, class... E1, class T2, class... E2>
struct common_type<expected<T1, E1...>, expected<T2, E2...>>:
mp_defer<common_expected, T1, mp_list<E1...>, T2, mp_list<E2...>>
{
};
} // stdHere we’ve taken a different tack; instead of passing the expected types to common_expected, we’re passing the T types and lists of
the E types. This makes our job easier. mp_unique<mp_append<E1, E2>> gives us the concatenation of E1 and E2 with the duplicates
removed; we then add common_type_t<T1, T2> to the front via mp_push_front; and finally, we mp_rename the resultant mp_list
to expected.
Fixing tuple_cat
The article Simple C++11 metaprogramming builds an
implementation of the standard function tuple_cat, with the end result given below:
template<class L> using F = mp_iota<mp_size<L>>;
template<class R, class...Is, class... Ks, class Tp>
R tuple_cat_( mp_list<Is...>, mp_list<Ks...>, Tp tp )
{
return R{ std::get<Ks::value>(std::get<Is::value>(tp))... };
}
template<class... Tp,
class R = mp_append<std::tuple<>, typename std::remove_reference<Tp>::type...>>
R tuple_cat( Tp &&... tp )
{
std::size_t const N = sizeof...(Tp);
// inner
using list1 = mp_list<
mp_rename<typename std::remove_reference<Tp>::type, mp_list>...>;
using list2 = mp_iota_c<N>;
using list3 = mp_transform<mp_fill, list1, list2>;
using inner = mp_apply<mp_append, list3>;
// outer
using list4 = mp_transform<F, list1>;
using outer = mp_apply<mp_append, list4>;
//
return tuple_cat_<R>( inner(), outer(),
std::forward_as_tuple( std::forward<Tp>(tp)... ) );
}This function, however, is not entirely correct, in that it doesn’t handle some cases properly. For example,
trying to concatenate tuples containing move-only elements such as unique_ptr fails:
std::tuple<std::unique_ptr<int>> t1;
std::tuple<std::unique_ptr<float>> t2;
auto result = ::tuple_cat( std::move( t1 ), std::move( t2 ) );Trying to concatenate const tuples fails:
std::tuple<int> const t1;
std::tuple<float> const t2;
auto result = ::tuple_cat( t1, t2 );And finally, the standard tuple_cat is specified to work on arbitrary tuple-like types (that is, all types
that support tuple_size, tuple_element, and get), while our implementation only works with tuple and
pair. std::array, for example, fails:
std::array<int, 2> t1{ 1, 2 };
std::array<float, 3> t2{ 3.0f, 4.0f, 5.0f };
auto result = ::tuple_cat( t1, t2 );Let’s fix these one by one. Support for move-only types is easy, if one knows where to look. The problem is
that Tp that we’re passing to the helper tuple_cat_ is (correctly) tuple<unique_ptr<int>&&, unique_ptr<float>&&>,
but std::get<0>(tp) still returns unique_ptr<int>&, because tp is an lvalue. This behavior is a bit
surprising, but is intended to prevent inadvertent double moves.
Long story short, we need std::move(tp) in tuple_cat_ to make tp an rvalue:
template<class R, class...Is, class... Ks, class Tp>
R tuple_cat_( mp_list<Is...>, mp_list<Ks...>, Tp tp )
{
return R{ std::get<Ks::value>(std::get<Is::value>(std::move(tp)))... };
}
Next, const-qualified tuples. The issue here is that we’re stripping references from the input tuples, but not
const. As a result, we’re trying to manipulate types such as tuple<int> const with Mp11 algorithms, and these
types do not fit the list concept. We just need to strip qualifiers as well, by defining the useful remove_cv_ref
primitive that is inexplicably missing from the standard library:
template<class T> using remove_cv_ref = typename std::remove_cv<
typename std::remove_reference<T>::type>::type;
and then by using remove_cv_ref<Tp> in place of typename std::remove_reference<Tp>::type:
template<class... Tp,
class R = mp_append<std::tuple<>, remove_cv_ref<Tp>...>>
R tuple_cat( Tp &&... tp )
{
std::size_t const N = sizeof...(Tp);
// inner
using list1 = mp_list<mp_rename<remove_cv_ref<Tp>, mp_list>...>;
// ...Finally, tuple-like types. We’ve so far exploited the fact that std::pair and std::tuple are valid Mp11 lists,
but in general, arbitrary tuple-like types aren’t, so we need to convert them into such. For that, we’ll need to
define a metafunction from_tuple_like that will take an arbitrary tuple-like type and will return, in our case,
the corresponding mp_list.
Technically, a more principled approach would’ve been to return std::tuple, but here mp_list will prove more
convenient.
What we need is, given a tuple-like type Tp, to obtain mp_list<std::tuple_element<0, Tp>::type, std::tuple_element<1, Tp>::type,
…, std::tuple_element<N-1, Tp>::type>, where N is tuple_size<Tp>::value. Here’s one way to do it:
template<class T, class I> using tuple_element =
typename std::tuple_element<I::value, T>::type;
template<class T> using from_tuple_like =
mp_product<tuple_element, mp_list<T>, mp_iota<std::tuple_size<T>>>;(mp_iota<N> is an algorithm that returns an mp_list with elements mp_size_t<0>, mp_size_t<1>, …, mp_size_t<N-1>.)
Remember that mp_product<F, L1, L2> performs the equivalent of two nested loops over the elements of L1 and L2,
applying F to the two variables and gathering the result. In our case L1 consists of the single element T, so
only the second loop (over mp_iota<N>, where N is tuple_size<T>), remains, and we get a list of the same type
as L1 (an mp_list) with contents tuple_element<T, mp_size_t<0>>, tuple_element<T, mp_size_t<1>>, …,
tuple_element<T, mp_size_t<N-1>>.
For completeness’s sake, here’s another, more traditional way to achieve the same result:
template<class T> using from_tuple_like =
mp_transform_q<mp_bind_front<tuple_element, T>, mp_iota<std::tuple_size<T>>>;
With all these fixes applied, our fully operational tuple_cat now looks like this:
template<class L> using F = mp_iota<mp_size<L>>;
template<class R, class...Is, class... Ks, class Tp>
R tuple_cat_( mp_list<Is...>, mp_list<Ks...>, Tp tp )
{
return R{ std::get<Ks::value>(std::get<Is::value>(std::move(tp)))... };
}
template<class T> using remove_cv_ref = typename std::remove_cv<
typename std::remove_reference<T>::type>::type;
template<class T, class I> using tuple_element =
typename std::tuple_element<I::value, T>::type;
template<class T> using from_tuple_like =
mp_product<tuple_element, mp_list<T>, mp_iota<std::tuple_size<T>>>;
template<class... Tp,
class R = mp_append<std::tuple<>, from_tuple_like<remove_cv_ref<Tp>>...>>
R tuple_cat( Tp &&... tp )
{
std::size_t const N = sizeof...(Tp);
// inner
using list1 = mp_list<from_tuple_like<remove_cv_ref<Tp>>...>;
using list2 = mp_iota_c<N>;
using list3 = mp_transform<mp_fill, list1, list2>;
using inner = mp_apply<mp_append, list3>;
// outer
using list4 = mp_transform<F, list1>;
using outer = mp_apply<mp_append, list4>;
//
return tuple_cat_<R>( inner(), outer(),
std::forward_as_tuple( std::forward<Tp>(tp)... ) );
}Computing Return Types
C++17 has a standard variant type, called std::variant. It also defines a function template
std::visit that can be used to apply a function to the contained value of one or more variants.
So for instance, if the variant v1 contains 1, and the variant v2 contains 2.0f,
std::visit(f, v1, v2) will call f(1, 2.0f).
However, std::visit has one limitation: it cannot return a result unless all
possible applications of the function have the same return type. If, for instance, v1 and v2
are both of type std::variant<short, int, float>,
std::visit( []( auto const& x, auto const& y ){ return x + y; }, v1, v2 );
will fail to compile because the result of x + y can be either int or float depending on
what v1 and v2 hold.
A type that can hold either int or float already exists, called, surprisingly enough, std::variant<int, float>.
Let’s write our own function template rvisit that is the same as visit but returns a variant:
template<class F, class... V> auto rvisit( F&& f, V&&... v )
{
using R = /*...*/;
return std::visit( [&]( auto&&... x )
{ return R( std::forward<F>(f)( std::forward<decltype(x)>(x)... ) ); },
std::forward<V>( v )... );
}What this does is basically calls std::visit to do the work, but instead of passing it f, we pass a lambda that does the same as f except
it converts the result to a common type R. R is supposed to be std::variant<…> where the ellipsis denotes the return types of
calling f with all possible combinations of variant values.
We’ll first define a helper quoted metafunction Qret<F> that returns the result of the application of F to arguments of type T…:
template<class F> struct Qret
{
template<class... T> using fn =
decltype( std::declval<F>()( std::declval<T>()... ) );
};
It turns out that C++17 already contains a metafunction that returns the result of the application of a function F to arguments
of type T…: std::invoke_result_t<F, T…>. We can make use of it to simplify our Qret to
template<class F> struct Qret
{
template<class... T> using fn = std::invoke_result_t<F, T...>;
};
which in Mp11 can be expressed more concisely as
using Qret = mp_bind_front<std::invoke_result_t, F>;
With Qret in hand, a variant of the possible return types is just a matter of applying it over the possible combinations of the variant values:
using R = mp_product_q<Qret, remove_cv_ref<V>...>;
Why does this work? mp_product<F, L1<T1…>, L2<T2…>, …, Ln<Tn…>> returns L1<F<U1, U2, …, Un>, …>, where Ui traverse all
possible combinations of list values. Since in our case all Li are std::variant, the result will also be std::variant. (mp_product_q is
the same as mp_product, but for quoted metafunctions such as our Qret.)
One more step remains. Suppose that, as above, we’re passing two variants of type std::variant<short, int, float> and F is
[]( auto const& x, auto const& y ){ return x + y; }. This will generate R of length 9, one per each combination, but many of those
elements will be the same, either int or float, and we need to filter out the duplicates. So, we pass the result to mp_unique:
using R = mp_unique<mp_product_q<Qret, remove_cv_ref<V>...>>;
and we’re done:
#include <boost/mp11.hpp>
#include <boost/core/demangle.hpp>
#include <variant>
#include <type_traits>
#include <typeinfo>
#include <iostream>
using namespace boost::mp11;
template<class T> using remove_cv_ref = typename std::remove_cv<
typename std::remove_reference<T>::type>::type;
template<class F, class... V> auto rvisit( F&& f, V&&... v )
{
using Qret = mp_bind_front<std::invoke_result_t, F>;
using R = mp_unique<mp_product_q<Qret, remove_cv_ref<V>...>>;
return std::visit( [&]( auto&&... x )
{ return R( std::forward<F>(f)( std::forward<decltype(x)>(x)... ) ); },
std::forward<V>( v )... );
}
template<class T> std::string name()
{
return boost::core::demangle( typeid(T).name() );
}
template<class V> void print_variant( char const * n, V const& v )
{
std::cout << "(" << name<decltype(v)>() << ")" << n << ": ";
std::visit( []( auto const& x )
{ std::cout << "(" << name<decltype(x)>() << ")" << x << std::endl; }, v );
}
int main()
{
std::variant<char, int, float> v1( 1 );
print_variant( "v1", v1 );
std::variant<short, int, double> const v2( 3.14 );
print_variant( "v2", v2 );
auto v3 = rvisit( []( auto const& x, auto const& y ){ return x + y; }, v1, v2 );
print_variant( "v3", v3 );

Integral Constants, <boost/mp11/integral.hpp>
For an Mp11 integral constant type T, T::value is an integral constant in the C++ sense.
mp_bool<B>
template<bool B> using mp_bool = std::integral_constant<bool, B>;
Same as std::bool_constant in C++17.
mp_true
using mp_true = mp_bool<true>;
Same as std::true_type.
mp_false
using mp_false = mp_bool<false>;
Same as std::false_type.
mp_to_bool<T>
template<class T> using mp_to_bool = mp_bool<static_cast<bool>(T::value)>;
mp_not<T>
template<class T> using mp_not = mp_bool< !T::value >;
mp_int<I>
template<int I> using mp_int = std::integral_constant<int, I>;
mp_size_t<N>
template<std::size_t N> using mp_size_t = std::integral_constant<std::size_t, N>;
mp_value<A>
template<auto A> using mp_value = std::integral_constant<decltype(A), A>;
When a value list is converted to a type list, either explicitly via mp_rename, or
implicitly by a primitive that supports value lists directly, its values are converted
to types by wrapping then with mp_value.
Requires C++17.
List Operations, <boost/mp11/list.hpp>
mp_list<T…>
template<class... T> struct mp_list {};
mp_list is the standard list type of Mp11, although the library is not restricted to it and can operate on arbitrary class templates
such as std::tuple or std::variant. Even std::pair can be used if the transformation does not alter the number of the elements in
the list.
mp_list_c<T, I…>
template<class T, T... I> using mp_list_c =
mp_list<std::integral_constant<T, I>...>;
mp_list_c produces an mp_list of the std::integral_constant types corresponding to its integer template arguments.
using L1 = mp_list_c<int, 2, 3>; // mp_list<mp_int<2>, mp_int<3>>mp_list_v<A…>
template<auto... A> struct mp_list_v {};
The standard value list type of Mp11. Requires C++17.
mp_is_list<L>
template<class L> using mp_is_list = /*...*/;
mp_is_list<L> is mp_true if L is a list (an instantiation of a class template whose template parameters are types), mp_false otherwise.
mp_is_value_list<L>
template<class L> using mp_is_value_list = /*...*/;
mp_is_value_list<L> is mp_true under C++17 if L is a value list (an instantiation of a class template whose template parameters are all values), mp_false otherwise.

For example, mp_fold<mp_list<X1, X2, X3>, V, F> is F<F<F<V, X1>, X2>, X3>, but
mp_partial_sum<mp_list<X1, X2, X3>, V, F> is mp_list<F<V, X1>, F<F<V, X1>, X2>, F<F<F<V, X1>, X2>, X3>>.
It’s common for F to be mp_plus, in which case the result contains the partial sums of L.
using L1 = mp_list_c<int, 1, 2, 3, 4>;
using R1 = mp_partial_sum<L1, mp_int<0>, mp_plus>; // mp_list_c<int, 1, 3, 6, 10>mp_partial_sum_q<L, V, Q>
template<class L, class V, class Q> using mp_partial_sum_q =
mp_partial_sum<L, V, Q::template fn>;
As mp_partial_sum, but takes a quoted metafunction.
mp_pairwise_fold<L, F>
template<class L, template<class...> class F> using mp_pairwise_fold = /*...*/;
mp_pairwise_fold<L, F> returns a list of the same form as L whose elements are
the result of the application of the binary metafunction F to each pair of adjacent
elements of L. That is, mp_pairwise_fold<L<T1, T2, T3>, F> is
L<F<T1, T2>, F<T2, T3>>.
The result has one fewer element than the original. If L has only one element, the
result is an empty list. If L is an empty list, the result is also an empty list.
template<class L> using is_increasing = mp_all_of<
mp_pairwise_fold<L, mp_less>, mp_to_bool>;mp_pairwise_fold_q<L, Q>
template<class L, class Q> using mp_pairwise_fold_q =
mp_pairwise_fold<L, Q::template fn>;
As mp_pairwise_fold, but takes a quoted metafunction.
template<class L, template<class...> class P> using is_sorted =
mp_none_of<mp_pairwise_fold_q<L, mp_bind<P, _2, _1>>, mp_to_bool>;mp_sliding_fold<L, N, F>
template<class L, class N, template<class...> class F> using mp_sliding_fold = /*...*/;
mp_sliding_fold<L, N, F> returns a list of the same form as L whose elements are
the result of the application of the n-ary metafunction F to each n-tuple of adjacent
elements of L. That is, mp_sliding_fold<L<T1, T2, T3, T4>, mp_size_t<3>, F> is
L<F<T1, T2, T3>, F<T2, T3, T4>>.
The result has N-1 fewer elements than the original.
If L has fewer than N::value elements, the result is an empty list.
template<class L, class N> using local_maximum =
mp_sliding_fold<L, N, mp_max>;mp_sliding_fold_q<L, N, Q>
template<class L, class N, class Q> using mp_sliding_fold_q =
mp_sliding_fold<L, N, Q::template fn>;
As mp_sliding_fold, but takes a quoted metafunction.
struct average { template<class... C> using fn = mp_int<mp_plus<C...>::value / sizeof...(C)>; };
template<class L, class N> using moving_average =
mp_sliding_fold_q<L, N, average>;mp_iterate<V, F, R>
template<class V, template<class...> class F, template<class...> class R>
using mp_iterate = /*...*/;
mp_iterate<V, F, R> applies R to V successively until that’s no longer possible,
yielding the sequence V, R<V>, R<R<V>>, R<R<R<V>>>…
It then returns an mp_list whose elements are formed by applying F to the above
sequence of values. That is, it returns mp_list<F<V>, F<R<V>>, F<R<R<V>>>, …>.
mp_iterate is in a way the reverse operation of mp_reverse_fold. Given
template<class T, class U> struct cons {};
struct nil {};
mp_reverse_fold<mp_list<X1, X2, X3>, nil, cons> produces cons<X1, cons<X2, cons<X3, nil>>>,
which when passed as V to mp_iterate<V, mp_first, mp_second> recovers the original
mp_list<X1, X2, X3>.
struct X1 {};
struct X2 {};
struct X3 {};
using L1 = mp_list<X1, X2, X3>;
using R1 = mp_iterate<L1, mp_first, mp_rest>; // L1
template<class T, class U> struct cons {};
struct nil {};
using V2 = mp_reverse_fold<L1, nil, cons>; // cons<X1, cons<X2, cons<X3, nil>>>
using R2 = mp_iterate<V2, mp_first, mp_second>; // L1
struct Y1 {};
struct Y2 { using value_type = double; using next_type = Y1; };
struct Y3 { using value_type = float; using next_type = Y2; };
struct Y4 { using value_type = int; using next_type = Y3; };
template<class T> using value_type = typename T::value_type;
template<class T> using next_type = typename T::next_type;
using R3 = mp_iterate<Y4, mp_identity_t, next_type>; // mp_list<Y4, Y3, Y2, Y1>
using R4 = mp_iterate<Y4, value_type, next_type>; // mp_list<int, float, double>mp_iterate_q<V, Qf, Qr>
template<class V, class Qf, class Qr> using mp_iterate_q =
mp_iterate<V, Qf::template fn, Qr::template fn>;
As mp_iterate, but takes quoted metafunctions.
mp_unique<L>
template<class L> using mp_unique = /*...*/;
mp_unique<L> returns a list of the same form as L with the duplicate elements removed.
mp_unique_if<L, P>
template<class L, template<class...> class P> using mp_unique_if = /*...*/;
As mp_unique, but two elements T and U are considered duplicates when mp_to_bool<P<T, U>> is mp_true.
mp_unique_if_q<L, Q>
template<class L, class Q> using mp_unique_if_q =
mp_unique_if<L, Q::template fn>;
As mp_unique_if, but takes a quoted metafunction.
mp_all_of<L, P>
template<class L, template<class...> class P> using mp_all_of =
mp_bool< mp_count_if<L, P>::value == mp_size<L>::value >;
mp_all_of<L, P> is mp_true when P holds for all elements of L, mp_false otherwise. When L is empty, the result is mp_true.
mp_all_of_q<L, Q>
template<class L, class Q> using mp_all_of_q = mp_all_of<L, Q::template fn>;
As mp_all_of, but takes a quoted metafunction.
mp_none_of<L, P>
template<class L, template<class...> class P> using mp_none_of =
mp_bool< mp_count_if<L, P>::value == 0 >;
mp_none_of<L, P> is mp_true when P holds for no element of L, mp_false otherwise. When L is empty, the result is mp_true.
mp_none_of_q<L, Q>
template<class L, class Q> using mp_none_of_q = mp_none_of<L, Q::template fn>;
As mp_none_of, but takes a quoted metafunction.
mp_any_of<L, P>
template<class L, template<class...> class P> using mp_any_of =
mp_bool< mp_count_if<L, P>::value != 0 >;

mp_any_of_q<L, Q>
template<class L, class Q> using mp_any_of_q = mp_any_of<L, Q::template fn>;
As mp_any_of, but takes a quoted metafunction.
mp_for_each<L>(f)
template<class L, class F> constexpr F mp_for_each(F&& f);
mp_for_each<L>(f) calls f with T() for each element T of the list L, in order.
Returns std::forward<F>(f).
template<class... T> void print( std::tuple<T...> const & tp )
{
std::size_t const N = sizeof...(T);
mp_for_each<mp_iota_c<N>>( [&]( auto I ){
// I is mp_size_t<0>, mp_size_t<1>, ..., mp_size_t<N-1>
std::cout << std::get<I>(tp) << std::endl;
});
}In case the elements of the list L are not default-constructible, you can use
mp_for_each<mp_transform<mp_identity, L>>, which would call f with mp_identity<T>()
instead of T().
mp_with_index<N>(i, f)
template<std::size_t N, class F>
constexpr auto mp_with_index( std::size_t i, F && f )
-> decltype(std::declval<F>()(std::declval<mp_size_t<0>>()));
mp_with_index<N>(i, f) calls f with mp_size_t<i>() and returns the result. i must be less than N.
Only constexpr on C++14 and higher.
template<class N, class F>
constexpr auto mp_with_index( std::size_t i, F && f )
-> decltype(std::declval<F>()(std::declval<mp_size_t<0>>()));
Returns mp_with_index<N::value>(i, f).
template<class... T> void print( std::variant<T...> const& v )
{
mp_with_index<sizeof...(T)>( v.index(), [&]( auto I ) {
// I is mp_size_t<v.index()>{} here
std::cout << std::get<I>( v ) << std::endl;
});
}Set Operations, <boost/mp11/set.hpp>
A set is a list whose elements are unique.

mp_set_push_front<S, T…>
template<class S, class... T> using mp_set_push_front = /*...*/;
mp_set_push_front<S, T…> inserts at the front of the set S those elements of T… for which S does not already contain the same type.
mp_set_union<L…>
template<class... L> using mp_set_union = /*...*/;
mp_set_union<S, L…> is mp_set_push_back<S, T…>, where T… are the combined elements of the lists L….

template<class M, class T, template<class...> class F> using mp_map_update = /*...*/;
If the map M does not contain an element with a key mp_first<T>, inserts it (using mp_push_back<M, T>); otherwise,
replaces the existing element L<X, Y…> with L<X, F<X, Y…>>.
template<class T, class U> using inc2nd = mp_int<U::value + 1>;
template<class M, class T> using count_types =
mp_map_update<M, std::pair<T, mp_int<1>>, inc2nd>;
using L1 = mp_list<float, char, float, float, float, float, char, float>;
using R1 = mp_fold<L1, std::tuple<>, count_types>;
// std::tuple<std::pair<float, mp_int<6>>, std::pair<char, mp_int<2>>>mp_map_update_q<M, T, Q>
template<class M, class T, class Q> using mp_map_update_q =

mp_map_keys<M>
template<class M> using mp_map_keys = mp_transform<mp_first, M>;
mp_map_keys<M> returns a list of the keys of M. When M is a valid map, the keys are unique, so the result is a set.

template<class... T> using mp_void = void;
Same as std::void_t from C++17.
mp_and<T…>
template<class... T> using mp_and = /*...*/;
mp_and<T…> applies mp_to_bool to the types in T…, in order. If the result of an application is mp_false, mp_and
returns mp_false. If the application causes a substitution failure, returns mp_false. If all results are mp_true,

template<class... T> using mp_all = /*...*/;
mp_all<T…> is mp_true if mp_to_bool<U> is mp_true for all types U in T…, mp_false otherwise. Same as
mp_and, but does not perform short-circuit evaluation. mp_and<mp_false, void> is mp_false, but mp_all<mp_false, void>
is an error because void does not have a nested value. The upside is that mp_all is potentially faster and does not
mask substitution failures as mp_and does.
using R1 = mp_all<mp_true, mp_true>; // mp_true
using R2 = mp_all<mp_false, void>; // compile-time error
using R3 = mp_all<mp_false, mp_false>; // mp_false

template<class... T> using mp_any = /*...*/;
mp_any<T…> is mp_true if mp_to_bool<U> is mp_true for any type U in T…, mp_false otherwise. Same as
mp_or, but does not perform short-circuit evaluation.
using R1 = mp_any<mp_true, mp_false>; // mp_true
using R2 = mp_any<mp_true, void>; // compile-time error
using R3 = mp_any<mp_false, mp_false>; // mp_false
using R4 = mp_any<void, mp_true>; // compile-time errormp_same<T…>
template<class... T> using mp_same = /*...*/;
mp_same<T…> is mp_true if all the types in T… are the same type, mp_false otherwise. mp_same<> is mp_true.
mp_similar<T…>
template<class... T> using mp_similar = /*...*/;
mp_similar<T…> is mp_true if all the types in T… are the same type, or instantiations of the same class template
whose parameters are all types, mp_false otherwise. mp_similar<> is mp_true.
using R1 = mp_similar<void>; // mp_true
using R2 = mp_similar<void, void>; // mp_true
using R3 = mp_similar<void, void, void>; // mp_true
using R4 = mp_similar<void, void, float>; // mp_false
template<class T> struct X;
template<class... T> struct Y;
using R5 = mp_similar<X<int>, X<void>, X<float>>; // mp_true
using R6 = mp_similar<Y<>, Y<void>, Y<void, void>>; // mp_true
using R7 = mp_similar<X<void>, Y<void>>; // mp_falsemp_plus<T…>
template<class... T> using mp_plus = /*...*/;
mp_plus<T…> is an integral constant type with a value that is the sum of U::value for all types U in T….
mp_plus<> is mp_int<0>.
mp_less<T1, T2>
template<class T1, class T2> using mp_less = /*...*/;
mp_less<T1, T2> is mp_true when the numeric value of T1::value is less than the numeric value of T2::value,
mp_false otherwise.
(Note that this is not necessarily the same as T1::value < T2::value when comparing between signed and unsigned types;
-1 < 1u is false, but mp_less<mp_int<-1>, mp_size_t<1>> is mp_true.)
mp_min<T1, T…>
template<class T1, class... T> using mp_min = mp_min_element<mp_list<T1, T...>, mp_less>;
mp_min<T…> returns the type U in T… with the lowest U::value.

_1 to _9 are placeholder types, the equivalent to the placeholders of boost::bind.
mp_bind<F, T…>
template<template<class...> class F, class... T> struct mp_bind;
mp_bind<F, T…> is a quoted metafunction that implements the type-based
equivalent of boost::bind. Its nested template fn<U…> returns F<V…>,
where V… is T… with the placeholders replaced by the corresponding
element of U… and the mp_bind, mp_bind_front, and mp_bind_back
expressions replaced with their corresponding evaluations against U….
For example, mp_bind<F, int, _2, mp_bind<G, _1>>::fn<float, void> is F<int, void, G<float>>.
mp_bind_q<Q, T…>
template<class Q, class... T> using mp_bind_q = mp_bind<Q::template fn, T...>;

mp_bind_front<F, T…> binds the leftmost arguments of F to T…. Its nested template fn<U…> returns F<T…, U…>.
mp_bind_front_q<Q, T…>
template<class Q, class... T> using mp_bind_front_q =

template<class Q, class... T> using mp_bind_back_q =
mp_bind_back<Q::template fn, T...>;
As mp_bind_back, but takes a quoted metafunction.
Integer Sequences, <boost/mp11/integer_sequence.hpp>
integer_sequence<T, I…>
template<class T, T... I> struct integer_sequence
{
};
integer_sequence<T, I…> holds a sequence of integers of type T. Same as C++14’s std::integer_sequence.
make_integer_sequence<T, N>
template<class T, T N> using make_integer_sequence = /*...*/;
make_integer_sequence<T, N> is integer_sequence<T, 0, 1, …, N-1>. Same as C++14’s std::make_integer_sequence.
index_sequence<I…>
template<std::size_t... I> using index_sequence = integer_sequence<std::size_t, I...>;
index_sequence<I…> is an alias for integer_sequence<size_t, I…>. Same as C++14’s std::index_sequence.

index_sequence_for<T…>
template<class... T> using index_sequence_for =
make_integer_sequence<std::size_t, sizeof...(T)>;
index_sequence_for<N> is make_index_sequence<sizeof…(T)>. Same as C++14’s std::index_sequence_for.
Tuple Operations, <boost/mp11/tuple.hpp>
tuple_apply(f, tp)
template<class F, class Tp> constexpr /*...*/ tuple_apply(F&& f, Tp&& tp);
tuple_apply(f, tp) returns std::forward<F>(f)(std::get<J>(std::forward<Tp>(tp))…) for J in 0..N-1,
where N is std::tuple_size<typename std::remove_reference<Tp>::type>::value. Same as std::apply in C++17.
construct_from_tuple<T>(tp)
template<class T, class Tp> T construct_from_tuple(Tp&& tp);
construct_from_tuple<T>(tp) returns T(std::get<J>(std::forward<Tp>(tp))…) for J in 0..N-1,
where N is std::tuple_size<typename std::remove_reference<Tp>::type>::value. Same as std::make_from_tuple in C++17.
The name of the function doesn’t match the C++17 one to avoid ambiguities when both are visible or in unqualified calls.
tuple_for_each(tp, f)
template<class Tp, class F> constexpr F tuple_for_each(Tp&& tp, F&& f);
tuple_for_each(tp, f) applies the function object f to each element of tp in order by evaluating the
expression f(std::get<J>(std::forward<Tp>(tp))) for J in 0..N-1, where N is std::tuple_size<typename std::remove_reference<Tp>::type>::value.
Returns std::forward<F>(f).
tuple_transform(f, tp…)
template<class F, class... Tp> constexpr /*...*/ tuple_transform(F const& f, Tp&&... tp);
tuple_transform(f, tp…) accepts a function object f followed by one or more tuples of equal length
(std::tuple, std::pair and std::array are considered tuples.)
The callable f must accept as many arguments as there are tuples. The function object is called with the
first elements of each tuple, with the second elements of each tuple, and so on, as if by evaluating
the expression f(std::get<J>(std::forward<Tp>(tp))…) for J in 0..N-1, where N is the length of
the tuples.
The order in which the elements of the tuples are processed is unspecified.
The results are returned as a std::tuple<T…> with T… deduced from the return values of f (lvalue
references are preserved, rvalue references are returned by value.)
Convenience Header, <boost/mp11.hpp>
The convenience header <boost/mp11.hpp> includes all of the
headers listed previously in this reference.
MPL Support, <boost/mp11/mpl.hpp>
The header <boost/mp11/mpl.hpp>, when included, defines the
necessary support infrastructure for mp_list and std::tuple
to be valid MPL sequences.
|
Note
|
mpl.hpp is not included by <boost/mp11.hpp>.
|
It’s also possible to only enable support for mp_list by
including <boost/mp11/mpl_list.hpp>, and for std::tuple
by including <boost/mp11/mpl_tuple.hpp>. This may be required
because some libraries, such as Boost.Fusion, contain their own MPL
support for std::tuple, which conflicts with Mp11’s one.
