  8. <div style="margin-left: 0px;"> The <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b> macro
  9. defines the maximum number of repetitions supported by each <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b>
  10. dimension. </div>
  11. <h4>Usage</h4>
  12. <div class="code"> <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b> </div>
  13. <h4>Remarks</h4>
  14. <div> This macro current expands to <i>256</i>.<br>
  15. <br>
  16. NOTE: for the current latest versions of Microsoft's VC++ compiler there
  17. is a nested macro limit of 256. This means in actuality that the number of
  18. repetitions using VC++ is actually less than 256 depending on the
  19. repetition macro being used. For the BOOST_PP_REPEAT macro this limit
  20. appears to be 252 while for the BOOST_PP_ENUM... series of macros this
  21. limit appears to be around 230, before the VC++ compiler gives a "C1009:
  22. compiler limit : macros nested too deeply" error. This is a compiler
  23. limitation of VC++ which may vary depending on the specific repetition
  24. macro being used, and therefore is not a problem the preprocessor library
  25. can solve.</div>
