- The <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b> macro is a placeholder macro for an empty <i>seq</i>.
- It is only valid if it's elements are appended to the end of this empty
- "seq."

- <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b>

- <h4>
- Remarks
- </h4>
- <div>
- This macro is a utility macro intended as a empty starting point for appending
- to the tail. It is <i>not</i> a nil <i>seq</i>. When an element is
- appended to this macro, it expands on the element and to the element--thereby
- removing itself. For example, both <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b>(<i>x</i>) and <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_PUSH_BACK</b>(<b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b>,
- <i>x</i>) expand to <i>x</i>.
- </div>
- <div>
- If any <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_</b>* macro (other than <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_PUSH_BACK</b>)
- is invoked with an argument that contains <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b>, the behavior
- is undefined and in most cases will result in obscure errors.
- </div>
- <div>
- The closest thing available to <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b> for appending to the
- head is <b>BOOST_PP_EMPTY</b>. After all the elements have been
- prepended, empty parenthesis can be invoked on the tail to remove the <b>BOOST_PP_EMPTY</b>.
- As with <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b>, passing an argument that contains <b>BOOST_PP_EMPTY</b>
- to any <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_</b>* macro (other than <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_PUSH_FRONT</b>)
- is undefined.
- </div>
- <div>
- (It is also possible to start with an extra element and pop it off when you
- have finished appending to it.)
- </div>
- <div>
- In C99, neither of these macros are necessary since it is legal to pass empty
- arguments.
