Description

Invokes a Metafunction Class or a Lambda Expression F with arguments A1,... An.

Header

#include <boost/mpl/apply.hpp>

Parameters

Parameter	Requirement	Description
`F`	Lambda Expression	An expression to invoke.
`A1`,... `An`	Any type	Invocation arguments.

Expression semantics

For any Lambda Expression f and arbitrary types a1,... an:

typedef applyn<f,a1,...an>::type t;
typedef apply<f,a1,...an>::type t;

Return type:	Any type.
Semantics:	Equivalent to `typedef apply_wrap`n`< lambda<f>::type,a1,... an>::type t;`.

Example

template< typename N1, typename N2 > struct int_plus
    : int_<( N1::value + N2::value )>
{
};

typedef apply< int_plus<_1,_2>, int_<2>, int_<3> >::type r1;
typedef apply< quote2<int_plus>, int_<2>, int_<3> >::type r2;

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( r1::value, ==, 5 );
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( r2::value, ==, 5 );
