	<div style="margin-left: 0px;">
		The <b>BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT</b> macro expands to a macro that eats a <i>tuple</i>.
	</div>
	<h4>Usage</h4>
		<div class="code">
			<b>BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT</b>(<i>size</i>)<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
<b>BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT</b>(<i>size</i>) <a href="../topics/variadic_macros.html#VNotation" target="_self"><sup>(v)</sup></a><b></b><br>
</div>
	<h4>Arguments</h4>
		<dl>
			<dt>size</dt>
			<dd>
				The size of the <i>tuple</i> to be eaten.&nbsp;
				Valid <i>tuple</i> sizes range from <i>1</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_TUPLE</b>.
			</dd>
		</dl>
	<h4>Remarks</h4>
		<div>
			The <i>size</i> argument must be the actual size of the <i>tuple</i> in the non-variadic version. <br>
<br>For the variadic version <a href="../topics/variadic_macros.html#VNotation" target="_self"><sup>(v)</sup></a>&nbsp;the
size may be left out
completely so that the macro can be invoked as BOOST_PP_TUPLE_EAT(); you may get a warning from some compilers, but the
functionality will still work. If you specify a size in the variadic
version, it will be ignored, but the warning from some compilers will
not occur.<br>
