#include <boost/phoenix/core/value.hpp>
Whenever we see a constant in a partially applied function, an
expression::value<T>::type
(where T is the type of the constant) is automatically created for us. For instance:
add(arg1, 6)
Passing a second argument, 6,
an expression::value<T>::type is implicitly created behind the
scenes. This is also equivalent to add(arg1, val(6)).
val(v)
generates an expression::value<T>::type
where T is the type of
v. In most cases, there's
no need to explicitly use val,
but, as we'll see later on, there are situations where this is unavoidable.
Like arguments, values are also actors. As such, values can be evaluated. Invoking a value gives the value's identity. Example:
cout << val(3)() << val("Hello World")();
prints out "3 Hello World".
