The BOOST_PP_EXPR_IIF macro expands to its second argument if its first argument is 1 and expands to nothing if its first argument is 0.

Usage

BOOST_PP_EXPR_IIF(bit, expr)

Arguments

bit
The condition that determines if the result is expr or nothing.  This value must expand to 0 or 1.
expr
The result of the expansion if bit is 1.

Remarks

This macro does not perform a boolean conversion on its first argument.  If that conversion is necessary, use BOOST_PP_EXPR_IF instead.
