hi all, since c++11 has lambda functions, writing functors is easier than never before ... so, i wonder, what do people think about a small utility function, that calls a functor N times? ruby: 10.times { puts 'hello world' } supercollider: 10.do { "hello world".postln } c++11/boost proposal: boost::loop(10, [] { printf("hello world\n"); }); boost::loop(10, [](int index) { printf("hello %d\n, index); }); personally, i find this coding style more elegant than for loops, as it avoids the visual noise of explicitly counting a loop variable ... not sure, if it is worth a separate library, maybe it could just be added to boost/utility ... thoughts? prototype available at github: https://github.com/timblechmann/boost_loop tim
