56/// \def BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FUNCTION_SIGNATURE
57/// BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FUNCTION_SIGNATURE is used by boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index class to
58/// deduce the name of a type. If your compiler is not recognized
59/// by the TypeIndex library and you wish to work with boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index, you may
60/// define this macro by yourself.
61///
62/// BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FUNCTION_SIGNATURE must be defined to a compiler specific macro
63/// that outputs the \b whole function signature \b including \b template \b parameters.
64///
65/// If your compiler is not recognised and BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FUNCTION_SIGNATURE is not defined,
66/// then a compile-time error will arise at any attempt to use boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index classes.
67///
68/// See BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_REGISTER_CTTI_PARSING_PARAMS and BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_USER_DEFINED_PARSING
69/// for an information of how to tune the implementation to make a nice pretty_name() output.
70#define BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_FUNCTION_SIGNATURE BOOST_CURRENT_FUNCTION
71
72/// \def BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_USER_DEFINED_PARSING
73/// This is a helper macro for making correct pretty_names() with RTTI off.
74///
75/// BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_USER_DEFINED_PARSING macro may be defined to
76/// '(begin_skip, end_skip, runtime_skip, runtime_skip_until)' with parameters for adding a
77/// support for compilers, that by default are not recognized by TypeIndex library.
78///
79/// \b Example:
80///
81/// Imagine the situation when
82/// \code boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index::type_id<int>().pretty_name() \endcode
83/// returns the following string:
84/// \code "static const char *boost::detail::ctti<int>::n() [T = int]" \endcode
85/// and \code boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index::type_id<short>().pretty_name() \endcode returns the following:
86/// \code "static const char *boost::detail::ctti<short>::n() [T = short]" \endcode
87///
88/// As we may see first 39 characters are "static const char *boost::detail::ctti<" and they do not depend on
89/// the type T. After first 39 characters we have a human readable type name which is duplicated at the end
90/// of a string. String always ends on ']', which consumes 1 character.
91///
92/// Now if we define `BOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_USER_DEFINED_PARSING` to
93/// `(39, 1, false, "")` we'll be getting \code "int>::n() [T = int" \endcode
94/// for `boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index::type_id<int>().pretty_name()` and \code "short>::n() [T = short" \endcode
95/// for `boost::typeindex::ctti_type_index::type_id<short>().pretty_name()`.
96///
97/// Now we need to take additional care of the characters that go before the last mention of our type. We'll
98/// do that by telling the macro that we need to cut off everything that goes before the "T = " including the "T = "
99/// itself:
100///
101/// \code (39, 1, true, "T = ") \endcode
102///
103/// In case of GCC or Clang command line we need to add the following line while compiling all the sources:
104///
105/// \code
106/// -DBOOST_TYPE_INDEX_CTTI_USER_DEFINED_PARSING='(39, 1, true, "T = ")'
107/// \endcode
108/// \param begin_skip How many characters must be skipped at the beginning of the type holding string.
109/// Must be a compile time constant.
110/// \param end_skip How many characters must be skipped at the end of the type holding string.
111/// Must be a compile time constant.
112/// \param runtime_skip Do we need additional checks at runtime to cut off the more characters.
113/// Must be `true` or `false`.
114/// \param runtime_skip_until Skip all the characters before the following string (including the string itself).
115/// Must be a compile time array of characters.
116///
