Consider the following test: std::vector<int> v; boost::push_back( v, boost::irange(0, 30) ); boost::copy( v, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " ")); std::cout << std::endl << std::endl; for ( int i = 1; i <= 30; i++ ) { std::cout << std::setw(2) << i << ": "; boost::copy( v | boost::adaptors::strided(i), std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " ")); std::cout << std::endl; //std::cout << std::setw(2) << "" << ": "; //BOOST_FOREACH( int x, v | boost::adaptors::strided(i) ) // std::cout << x << ' '; //std::cout << std::endl; } Here is the output: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 1: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 3: 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 4: 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 ///< where is 28? 5: 0 5 10 15 20 25 6: 0 6 12 18 24 7: 0 7 14 21 ///< where is 28? 8: 0 8 16 ///< where is 24? 9: 0 9 18 ///< where is 27? 10: 0 10 20 11: 0 11 ///< where is 22? ... 16: 0 ///< where is 16? etc If you uncomment the BOOST_FOREACH code, it crashes at stride=4 (prints 28 and then crashes): 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 1: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 : 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 3: 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 : 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 4: 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 /usr/include/stlport-5.2.1/stlport/stl/debug/_iterator.h(170): STL assertion failure : _Incrementable(*this, __n, _Iterator_category()) : 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 unknown location:0: fatal error in "test": signal: SIGABRT (application abort requested) Nothing changes if I replace "v | boost::adaptors::strided(i)" with "boost::adaptors::stride(v,i)". It's Boost 1.45.0 on STLPort 5.2.1, gcc 4.4. IF I switch from std::vector to boost::array, BOOST_FOREACH just doesn't stop and keeps printing memory until crash, so I don't think it's an STLPort problem. Am I doing anything wrong, or range::stride is broken? Thanks, Maxim
