The BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOLD_LEFT_s macro folds (or accumulates) the elements of a seq left-to-right.  It reenters BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOLD_LEFT with maximum efficiency.

Usage

BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOLD_LEFT_ ## s(op, state, seq)

Arguments

s
The next available BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOLD_LEFT fold step.
op
A ternary operation of the form op(s, state, elem).  This macro is called for each element in seq--each time returning a new state.  This operation is expanded by BOOST_PP_SEQ_FOLD_LEFT with the next available fold step, the current state, and the current element.
state
The initial state of the fold.
seq
The seq to be folded.

Remarks

For the seq, (0)(1)(2), this macro expands to:
op(s, op(s, op(s, state, 0), 1), 2)
