Synopsis

template< 
      typename F1
    , typename F2
    , typename F3 = true_c
    ...
    , typename Fn = true_c
    >
struct logical_and
{
    typedef unspecified type;
};

Description

Returns the result of short-circuit logical and (&&) operation on its arguments.

Definition

#include "boost/mpl/logical/and.hpp"

Parameters

 Parameter  Requirement  Description  
F1, F2, .., FnA model of nullary Metafunction

Expression semantics

 Expression  Precondition  Semantics  Postcondition 
typedef logical_and<f1,f2,..,fn>::type c;Returns false_c if either of f1::type::value, f2::type::value, .., fn::type::value expressions evaluates to false, and true_c otherwise; guarantees left-to-right evaluation; moreover, the operands subsequent to the first fi metafunction that evaluates to false are not evaluated.

Example

// will generate compile-time error if invoked with T == any fundamental type
template< typename T > struct fail
{
   typedef typename T::nonexistent type;
};

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((logical_and< true_c,false_c >::type::value == false)); BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((logical_and< false_c,fail<int> >::type::value == false)); // ok, fail<int> is never invoked BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((logical_and< true_c,false_c,fail<int> >::type::value == false)); // ok too
