Apply a function to an initial state while some predicate is satisfied. //! @ingroup group-Logical //! //! This method is a natural extension of the `while` language construct //! to manipulate a state whose type may change from one iteration to //! another. However, note that having a state whose type changes from //! one iteration to the other is only possible as long as the predicate //! returns a `Logical` whose truth value is known at compile-time. //! //! Specifically, `while_(pred, state, f)` is equivalent to //! @code //! f(...f(f(state))) //! @endcode //! where `f` is iterated as long as `pred(f(...))` is a true-valued //! `Logical`. //! //! //! @param pred //! A predicate called on the state or on the result of applying `f` a //! certain number of times to the state, and returning whether `f` //! should be applied one more time. //! //! @param state //! The initial state on which `f` is applied. //! //! @param f //! A function that is iterated on the initial state. Note that the //! return type of `f` may change from one iteration to the other, //! but only while `pred` returns a compile-time `Logical`. In other //! words, `decltype(f(stateN))` may differ from `decltype(f(stateN+1))`, //! but only if `pred(f(stateN))` returns a compile-time `Logical`. //! //! //!
