<div style="margin-left: 0px;">
The <b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b> macro is a placeholder macro for an empty <i>seq</i>.
It is only valid if it is elements are appended to the end of this empty
"seq."
</div>
<h4>
Usage
</h4>
<div class="code">
<b>BOOST_PP_SEQ_NIL</b>
</div>
<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.
