- [section Actor]
- The `Actor` is the main concept behind the library. Actors are function objects.
- An actor can accept 0 to `BOOST_PHOENIX_LIMIT` arguments.
- [note You can set `BOOST_PHOENIX_LIMIT`, the predefined maximum arity an
- actor can take. By default, `BOOST_PHOENIX_LIMIT` is set to 10.]
- Phoenix supplies an `actor` class template whose specializations
- model the `Actor` concept. `actor` has one template parameter, `Expr`,
- that supplies the underlying expression to evaluate.
- template <typename Expr>
- struct actor
- {
- return_type
- operator()() const;
- template <typename T0>
- return_type
- operator()(T0& _0) const;
- template <typename T0, typename T1>
- return_type
- operator()(T0& _0, T1& _1) const;
- //...
- };
- The actor class accepts the arguments through a set of function call operators
- for 0 to `BOOST_PHOENIX_LIMIT` arities (Don't worry about the details, for now. Note, for example,
- that we skimp over the details regarding `return_type`). The arguments are passed through to
- the evaluation mechanism. For more information see [link phoenix.inside.actor Inside Actors].
