<h2 >NAME</h2>FBB::Ranger - generalizes ranges for range-based for-loops
<p>
<h2 >SYNOPSIS</h2>
<strong >#include <bobcat/ranger></strong><br/>
<p>
<h2 >DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
The <em >Ranger</em> class template defines ranges that can be used with range-based
for-loops. The standard range-based for-loop requires for its
range-specificiation an array or an iterator range as offered by, e.g.,
containers (through their <em >begin</em> and <em >end</em> members). Ranges defined by a
pair of pointers or by a subrange defined by iterator expressions cannot
currently be used in combination with range-based for-loops.
<p>
<em >Ranger</em> extends the applicability of range-based for-loops by turning pairs
of pointers, an initial pointer and a pointer count, or a pair of iterators
into a range that can be used by range-based for-loops.
<p>
<em >Ranger</em> is a class template requiring one template type parameter:
<em >Iterator</em>, an iterator or pointer type reaching the data when dereferenced.
<p>
<em >Ranger</em>'s users don't have to specify <em >Ranger</em>'s template type. The
function template <em >ranger</em> returns the appropriate <em >Ranger</em> object.
<p>
<h2 >NAMESPACE</h2>
<strong >FBB</strong><br/>
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace <strong >FBB</strong>.
<p>
<h2 >FREE FUNCTION</h2>
When using the following free functions, any (subrange) of iterators or
pointers can be used. With iterators subranges of <em >reverse iterators</em> can
also be specified. The <strong >EXAMPLE</strong> section below illustrates the use of the
<em >ranger</em> function templates.
<ul>
<li> <strong >Ranger<Iterator> ranger(Iterator &&begin, Iterator &&end)</strong>:<br/>
this function template returns a <em >Ranger</em> object for the (sub)range
defined by two (reverse) iterators;
<li> <strong >Ranger<Iterator> ranger(Iterator &&begin, size_t count)</strong>:<br/>
this function template returns a <em >Ranger</em> object for the (sub)range
defined by the (reverse) iterator range <em >begin</em> and <em >begin +
count</em>;
<li> <strong >Ranger<Data *> ranger(Data *begin, Data *end)</strong>:<br/>
this function template returns a <em >Ranger</em> object for the (sub)range
defined by the two pointers <em >begin</em> and <em >end</em>;
<li> <strong >Ranger<Data *> ranger(Data *begin, size_t count)</strong>:<br/>
this function template returns a <em >Ranger</em> object for the (sub)range
defined by the two pointers <em >begin</em> and <em >begin + count</em>.
</ul>
<p>
<h2 >CONSTRUCTORS</h2>
Below, <em >Iterator</em> refers to the <em >Ranger</em> class template's type
parameter. Although named 'Iterator' it can also be a pointer to some data
type (e.g., <em >std::string *</em>).
<ul>
<li> <strong >Ranger(Iterator const &begin, Iterator const &end)</strong>:<br/>
A <em >Ranger</em> object can be passed as range-specifier in a range-based
for-loop. All elements defined by the range will subsequently be visited by
the range-based for-loop.
</ul>
The copy and move constructors are available.
<p>
<h2 >OVERLOADED OPERATORS</h2>
The copy and move assignment operators are available.
<p>
<h2 >MEMBER FUNCTIONS</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong >Iterator const &begin() const</strong>:<br/>
returns (a copy of) the <em >begin</em> iterator passed to the <em >Ranger</em>'s
constructor. Note that if <em >Iterator</em> was a pointer type (like <em >int *</em>) the
data to which the iterator returned by <em >begin()</em> can actually be modified,
as the member's return type (using <em >int *</em> for <em >Iterator</em>) becomes <em >int
* const &</em>, so a reference to a constant pointer to an <em >int</em>. This is
perfectly OK: if the data themselves should be immutable, then the data type
must be defined as <em >int const</em>, which is automatically the case when passing
<em >int const *</em> data. See the <strong >EXAMPLE</strong> section for an illustration.
<li> <strong >Iterator const &end() const</strong>:<br/>
returns (a copy of) the <em >end</em> iterator passed to the <em >Ranger</em>'s
constructor.
</ul>
If reverse iterators are passed to <em >Ranger</em>'s constructor, then
the <em >begin</em> and <em >end</em> members return <em >reverse iterators</em>. Since
the intended use of <em >Ranger</em> objects is to define a range for range-base
for-loops, members like <em >rbegin</em> and <em >rend</em> can be omitted from
<em >Ranger</em>.
<p>
<h2 >EXAMPLE</h2>
<pre >
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <bobcat/ranger>
using namespace std;
using namespace FBB;
int main()
{
vector<int> iv {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
// display and modify a subrange
for(auto &el: ranger(iv.rbegin() + 1, iv.rend() - 1))
cout << el++ << ' ';
cout << '\n';
// display a reversed range
for(auto &el: ranger(iv.rbegin() + 1, iv.rend() - 1))
cout << el << ' ';
cout << '\n';
// same: display using a count
for(auto &el: ranger(iv.rbegin() + 1, 3))
cout << el << ' ';
cout << '\n';
int intArray[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
// display and modify elements
// in a pointer-based range
for(auto &el: ranger(intArray + 1, intArray + 3))
cout << el++ << ' ';
cout << '\n';
// data now modified
for(auto &el: ranger(intArray + 1, intArray + 3))
cout << el << ' ';
cout << '\n';
// using a count rather than an
// end-pointer
for(auto &el: ranger(intArray + 1, 3))
cout << el << ' ';
cout << '\n';
int const constInts[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
// data can't be modified
for(auto &el: ranger(constInts + 1, constInts + 3))
cout << el << ' ';
cout << '\n';
}
