[boost] Re: looping construct

I shudder at the thought of a lambda that takes up more than a few lines. A foreach construct would make it easier to read, in that case.

But then again, if we had a type inference mechanism and a range library the for-loop is easy enough:

for (auto r = range(v); r; ++r) { }

I would agree that there would be need for a simpler loop head if we had to write every trivial loop on our own, but we have standard algorithms.

And they increasingly implement optimizations like loop unrolling. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
