The BOOST_PP_ADD_D macro expands to the sum of its second and third arguments. It reenters BOOST_PP_WHILE with maximum efficiency.

#### Usage

BOOST_PP_ADD_D(d, x, y)

#### Arguments

d
  The next available BOOST_PP_WHILE iteration.
x
  The first addend of the operation. Valid values range from 0 to BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG.
y
  The second addend of the operation. Valid values range from 0 to BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG.

#### Remarks

If the sum of x and y is greater than BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG, the result is saturated to BOOST_PP_LIMIT_MAG.
This macro is the most efficient when x is less than or equal to y. However, the efficiency gain is not worth actually comparing the two arguments prior to invocation. In other words, x should be the addend that is most likely to be the largest of the two operands.

    #include <boost/preprocessor/tuple/elem.hpp>

    #define PRED(d, data) BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2, 0, data)

    #define OP(d, data) \
       ( \
          BOOST_PP_DEC( \
             BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2, 0, data) \
          ), \
          BOOST_PP_ADD_D( \
             d, \
             BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2, 1, data), \
             2 \
          ) \
       ) \
       /**/

    // increment 'x' by 2 'n' times
    #define STRIDE(x, n) BOOST_PP_TUPLE_ELEM(2, 1, BOOST_PP_WHILE(PRED, OP, (n, x)))

    STRIDE(10, 2) // expands to 14
    STRIDE(51, 6) // expands to 63
