| 8 | The <b>BOOST_PP_EXPAND</b> macro performs a double macro-expansion on its argument. |

| 10 | <h4>Usage</h4> |

| 11 | <div class="code"> |
|---|
| 12 | <b>BOOST_PP_EXPAND</b>(<i>x</i>) |

| 14 | <h4>Arguments</h4> |
|---|
| 15 | <dl> |
|---|
| 16 | <dt>x</dt> |
|---|
| 17 | <dd> |
|---|
| 18 | The argument to be expanded twice. |
|---|
| 19 | </dd> |
|---|
| 20 | </dl> |
|---|
| 21 | <h4>Remarks</h4> |
|---|
| 22 | <div> |
|---|
| 23 | This macro is useful when a delay is necessary to produce the correct semantics of a macro invocation. |
|---|
| 24 | For example, when a macro expands to an argument list to another macro. |
|---|
| 25 | This macro will expand the the argument list on the first pass, and then rescan to expand any more macros. |
