Re: [Boost-users] Boost.Range fancify please

I have this variable definition:

float vertices[][3] = {  {-1, -1,  1}, {1, -1,  1}, {1, 1,  1}, {-1, 1,  1},  {-1, -1, -1}, {1, -1, -1}, {1, 1, -1}, {-1, 1, -1}  };

I want to scale all elements of vertices, by some constant, for now I do it like this:

BOOST_FOREACH(float& f, boost::make_iterator_range(  boost::begin(vertices[0]), boost::end(vertices[7]))) {  f *= scale; }

Are you sure that is correct, you are only multiplying the first 7 floats (out of 8*3=24)... On Sat, Dec 26, 2009 at 8:33 PM, anony wrote:

But maybe something more beautiful could be done with Boost.Range?

Actually you could make it more 'beautiful' (as in shorter code) using fusion+phoenix if it really is a constant sized array like you have. This is probably not correct, but I am at work right now so cannot check: using namespace boost::fusion; using namespace boost::phoenix; using boost::array; array,8> vertices = { {-1, -1, 1}, {1, -1, 1}, {1, 1, 1}, {-1, 1, 1}, {-1, -1, -1}, {1, -1, -1}, {1, 1, -1}, {-1, 1, -1} }; for_each(vertices,arg0*=val(scale)); // one line of code Else, if it is not a static size, then yeah, do what Eric said, even then his way is short enough that you may as well use it regardless.
