[section Adapted]

Fusion provides a couple of adapters for other sequences such as
`std::pair`, __mpl__ sequences, and `boost::array`. These adapters are
written using Fusion's non-intrusive __extension__ mechanism. If you wish
to use these sequences with fusion, simply include the necessary files and
they will be regarded as first-class, fully conforming fusion sequences.

Fusion also provides various schemes to make it easy for the user to adapt
various data structures, non-intrusively, as full fledged Fusion sequences.

[heading Header]

    #include <boost/fusion/adapted.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/adapted.hpp>

Fusion sequences may also be adapted as fully conforming __mpl__ sequences (see
__intrinsics__). That way, we can have 2-way adaptation to and from __mpl__ and
Fusion. To make Fusion sequences fully conforming __mpl__ sequences, include:

    #include <boost/fusion/mpl.hpp>

If you want bi-directional adaptation to and from __mpl__ and Fusion, simply
include:

    #include <boost/fusion/include/mpl.hpp>

The header includes all the necessary headers.

[section std::pair]

This module provides adapters for `std::pair`. Including the module header
makes `std::pair` a fully conforming __random_access_sequence__.

[heading Header]

    #include <boost/fusion/adapted/std_pair.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/std_pair.hpp>

[heading Model of]

* __random_access_sequence__

[heading Example]

    std::pair<int, std::string> p(123, "Hola!!!");
    std::cout << __at_c__<0>(p) << std::endl;
    std::cout << __at_c__<1>(p) << std::endl;
    std::cout << p << std::endl;

[section mpl sequence]

This module provides adapters for __mpl__ sequences. Including the module
header makes all __mpl__ sequences fully conforming fusion sequences.

[heading Header]

    #include <boost/fusion/adapted/mpl.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/mpl.hpp>

[heading Model of]

* __forward_sequence__ (If the __mpl__ sequence is a forward sequence.)
* __bidirectional_sequence__ (If the __mpl__ sequence is a bidirectional sequence.)
* __random_access_sequence__ (If the __mpl__ sequence is a random access sequence.)

[heading Example]

    mpl::vector_c<int, 123, 456> vec_c;
    fusion::vector2<int, long> v(vec_c);
    std::cout << __at_c__<0>(v) << std::endl;
    std::cout << __at_c__<1>(v) << std::endl;

    v = mpl::vector_c<int, 456, 789>();
    std::cout << __at_c__<0>(v) << std::endl;
    std::cout << __at_c__<1>(v) << std::endl;

[section boost::array]

This module provides adapters for `boost::array`. Including the module
header makes `boost::array` a fully conforming __random_access_sequence__.

[heading Header]

    #include <boost/fusion/adapted/array.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/array.hpp>

[heading Model of]

* __random_access_sequence__

[heading Example]

    boost::array<int,3> arr = {{1,2,3}};

    std::cout << *__begin__(arr) << std::endl;
    std::cout << *__next__(__begin__(arr)) << std::endl;
    std::cout << *__advance_c__<2>(__begin__(arr)) << std::endl;
    std::cout << *__prior__(__end__(arr)) << std::endl;
    std::cout << __at_c__<2>(arr) << std::endl;

[section boost::tuple]
This module provides adapters for `boost::tuple`. Including the module
header makes `boost::tuple` a fully conforming __forward_sequence__.

[heading Header]

    #include <boost/fusion/adapted/boost_tuple.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/boost_tuple.hpp>

[heading Model of]

* __forward_sequence__

[heading Example]

    boost::tuple<int,std::string> example_tuple(101, "hello");
    std::cout << *boost::fusion::begin(example_tuple) << '\n';
    std::cout << *boost::fusion::next(boost::fusion::begin(example_tuple)) << '\n';

[section:adapt_struct BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT]

[heading Description]
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT is a macro that can be used to generate all the
necessary boilerplate to make an arbitrary struct into a __random_access_sequence__.

[heading Synopsis]
    BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT(
        struct_name
        (member_type0, member_name0)
        (member_type1, member_name1)
        ...
        )

[heading Semantics]

The above macro generates the necessary code to adapt `struct_name`
as a model of __random_access_sequence__. The sequence of `(member_typeN, member_nameN)`
pairs declare the type and names of each of the struct members that will be
part of the sequence.

The macro should be used at global scope, and `struct_name` should be the fully
namespace qualified name of the struct to be converted.

[heading Header]

    #include <boost/fusion/adapted/struct/adapt_struct.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/adapt_struct.hpp>

[heading Example]
    namespace demo
    {
        struct employee
        {
            std::string name;
            int age;
        };
    }

    // demo::employee is now a Fusion sequence
    BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT(
        demo::employee
        (std::string, name)
        (int, age))

[endsect]

[section:adapt_assoc BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_STRUCT]

[heading Description]
BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_STRUCT is a macro that can be used to generate all the
necessary boilerplate to make an arbitrary struct into a model of  __random_access_sequence__
and __associative_sequence__.

[heading Synopsis]
    BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_STRUCT(
        struct_name
        (member_type0, member_name0, key_type0)
        (member_type1, member_name1, key_type1)
        ...
        )

[heading Semantics]

The above macro generates the necessary code to adapt `struct_name`
as a model of __random_access_sequence__ and __associative_sequence__.
The sequence of `(member_typeN, member_nameN, key_typeN)`
triples declare the type, name and key type of each of the struct members
that will be part of the sequence.

The macro should be used at global scope, and `struct_name` should be the fully
namespace qualified name of the struct to be converted.

[heading Header]

    #include <boost/fusion/adapted/struct/adapt_assoc_struct.hpp>
    #include <boost/fusion/include/adapt_assoc_struct.hpp>

[heading Example]
    namespace demo
    {
        struct employee
        {
            std::string name;
            int age;
        };
    }

    namespace keys
    {
        struct name;
        struct age;
    }

    // demo::employee is now a Fusion sequence
    // It is also an associative sequence with
    // keys keys::name and keys::age present.
    BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_ASSOC_STRUCT(
        demo::employee
        (std::string, name, keys::name)
        (int, age, keys::age))
