[range] STL algorithm wrappers accepting range?

Apologies if I'm overlooking something obvious, or if this is a FAQ. Has anyone published a suite of wrappers for common STL algorithms that accept Boost.Range instances instead of iterator pairs? Or must we each write our own? Seems like redundant effort...

I asked the very same question just a few weeks back! The answer is Boost.RangeEx. http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/libs/range_ex/doc/html/index.html - Rob.

I had a look at that link. Section of it it look incomplete (e.g. User's Guide). Has it not been submitted/accepted to Boost as I can't see it in the main documentation.

That is the old, incomplete documentation for my old, outdated RangeEx library. There is a newer, better RangeEx library in the Boost File Vault here: http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?directory=Algorithms Be sure to get Neil Groves' "range_ex.zip" and not my "old_range_ex.zip". This is not (yet) an official part of Boost, but it's in the review queue. I don't know if the documentation is online anywhere. -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Ooops, close! I never can get my head round the sandbox vs the vault. Thanks Eric. - Rob.

Wow wow! Thanks! Is this a complete replacement for the existing Boost.Range library? Can it be dropped into a Boost as old as 1.34.1?
