[section foldr]

[h1 Synopsis]

  template <class P, class State, class BackwardOp>
  struct foldr;

This is a [link parser_combinator parser combinator].

[table Arguments
  [[Name]         [Type]]
  [[`P`]          [[link parser parser]]]
  [[`State`]      [[link metaprogramming_value template metaprogramming value]]]
  [[`BackwardOp`] [[link metafunction_class template metafunction class] taking two arguments]]
]

[h1 Description]

`foldr` applies `P` on the input string repeatedly as long as `P` accepts the
input. The result of parsing is equivalent to
`boost::reverse_fold<Sequence, State, BackwardOp>`, where `Sequence` is the
sequence of the results of the applications of `P`.

When `P` rejects the input for the first time, `foldr` still accepts the input
and the result of parsing is `State`.

Here is a diagram showing how `foldr` works by example:

  using int_token = token<int_>;
  using sum_op = mpl::lambda<mpl::plus<mpl::_1, mpl::_2>>::type;

[h1 Header]

  #include <boost/metaparse/foldr.hpp>

[h1 Expression semantics]

For any `p` parser, `t` class, `f` metafunction class taking two arguments,
`s` compile-time string and `pos` source position

  foldr<p, t, f>::apply<s, pos>

is equivalent to

  return_<t>::apply<s, pos>

when `p::apply<s, pos>` returns an error. It is

  f::apply<
    get_result<
      foldr<p, t, f>::apply<
        get_remaining<p::apply<s, pos>>,
        get_position<p::apply<s, pos>>
      >
    >::type,
    get_result<p::apply<s, pos>>::type
  >

otherwise.
