//! Evaluate a lazy value and return it.
|

|
//! @relates hana::lazy
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! Given a lazy expression `expr`, `eval` evaluates `expr` and returns
|
||
|
//! the result as a normal value. However, for convenience, `eval` can
|
||
|
//! also be used with nullary and unary function objects. Specifically,
|
||
|
//! if `expr` is not a `hana::lazy`, it is called with no arguments at
|
||
|
//! all and the result of that call (`expr()`) is returned. Otherwise,
|
||
|
//! if `expr()` is ill-formed, then `expr(hana::id)` is returned instead.
|
||
|
//! If that expression is ill-formed, then a compile-time error is
|
||
|
//! triggered.
|
||
|
//!
|
||
|
//! The reason for allowing nullary callables in `eval` is because this
|
||
|
//! allows using nullary lambdas as lazy branches to `eval_if`, which
|
||
|
//! is convenient. The reason for allowing unary callables and calling
|
||
|
//! them with `hana::id` is because this allows deferring the
|
||
|
//! compile-time evaluation of selected expressions inside the callable.
|
||
|
//! How this can be achieved is documented by `hana::eval_if`.
|
||
|

||
|
