<h2 >NAME</h2>FBB::repeat - call a (member) function a fixed number of times
<p>
<h2 >SYNOPSIS</h2>
    <strong >#include &lt;bobcat/repeat&gt;</strong><br/>
<p>
<h2 >DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
The <strong >FBB::repeat</strong> function template allows a function or member function to
be called a certain number of times. The functions or member functions may
define arguments. Arguments to these functions are specified when <em >repeat</em>
is called, and are perfectly forwarded by the <em >repeat</em> function
template to the (member) function called by <em >repeat</em>.
<p>
The first argument of the <em >repeat</em> function template defines the number of 
times the (member) function must be called.
<p>
The <em >FBB::repeat</em> function template are defined <em >inline</em>,
allowing the compiler to `optimize away' the <em >repeat</em> function call 
itself.
<p>
<h2 >NAMESPACE</h2>
    <strong >FBB</strong><br/>
    All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace <strong >FBB</strong>.
<p>
<h2 >INHERITS FROM</h2>
    -
<p>
<h2 >REPEAT FUNCTION TEMPLATE</h2>
    The <em >repeat</em> function template is declared as:
    <pre>

template &lt;typename Counter, typename First, typename ...Params&gt;
void repeat(Counter counter, First &amp;&amp;first, Params &amp;&amp;...params);
    
</pre>

    In this declaration,
    <ul>
    <li> <strong >Counter</strong> represents the counter's type. Usually an <em >int</em> or
        <em >size_t</em>. When calling <em >repeat</em> <em >counter</em> must be initialized to
        the number of times <em >repeat</em> must call the (member) function (see
        below);
    <li> <strong >First</strong> represents the prototype of a function or the name of a
        class.  name of a class. Likewise, <em >first</em> either is the address
        (name) of the function to be called or the name of an object of class
        type <em >First</em>. In the latter case the object may or may not be a
        <em >const</em> object.
    <li> <strong >...Params</strong> represents the set of parameter types of arguments
        which must be perfectly forwarded to the called function. If <em >first</em>
        represents a class type object, the first argument <em >must</em> be the
        address of a member function of the class <em >First</em>.
    </ul>

<h2 >EXAMPLES</h2>

#include &lt;iostream&gt;

    cout &lt;&lt; "Object receiving argc and argv, showing the iteration count:\n";
    size_t count = 0;
    repeat(argc, object, &amp;Object::member2, count, argc, argv);

    Object const obj;
    cout &lt;&lt; "Const Object receiving argc and argv:\n";
    repeat(argc, obj, &amp;Object::member, argc, argv);

<h2 >BUGS</h2>
    Be careful when using overloaded functions, as the template argument
        resolution mechanism may be unable to determine which function to
        call. If overloaded functions must be used, a <em >static_cast</em> is
        likely required to disambiguate your intentions.
