How is this simpler or more transparent than
for(some_array::iterator i=some_array.begin(); i != some_array.end();
++i) [snip]
I see only the smallest difference here.
Yes, as far as this example shows. I haven't look at other examples; however, I've coded this range idea myself just using something derived from pair<iterator,iterator>. There's was something already in boost that had ranges; however, I couldn't use it for some reason. I've also seen ranges coded elsewhere (in the polaris compiler at uiuc). If it's occurring so often, maybe it's worth having a library. Also, could someone tell me the reason for having, I believe Thorsten's, range library as well as this one? I've found the Thorsten's hard to use because it doesn't have a dereference function or advance function. How can these operations be done on ranges in that library?
