Detailed Description

template<template< int > class Operation, int first, int last>
class Dune::ForLoop< Operation, first, last >

A static loop using TMP.

The ForLoop takes a

template<int i> class Operation 

template argument with a static apply method which is called for i=first...last (first<=last are int template arguments). A specialization for class template class Operation for i=first or i=last is not required. The class Operation must provide a static void function apply(...). Arguments (as references) can be passed through the ForLoop to this function.

It is possible to pass a subclass to the ForLoop (since no specialization is needed).

Example of usage:

template<class Tuple>
struct PrintTupleTypes
{
  template <int i>
  struct Operation
  {
    template<class Stream>
    static void apply(Stream &stream, const std::string &prefix)
    {
      stream << prefix << i << ": "
             << className<typename tuple_element<i, Tuple>::type>()
             << std::endl;
    }
  };
  template<class Stream>
  static void print(Stream &stream, const std::string &prefix)
  {
    // cannot attach on-the-fly in the argument to ForLoop<..>::apply() since
    // that would yield an rvalue
    std::string extended_prefix = prefix+"  ";
 
    stream << prefix << "tuple<" << std::endl;
    ForLoop<Operation, 0, tuple_size<Tuple>::value-1>::
      apply(stream, extended_prefix);
    stream << prefix << ">" << std::endl;
  }
};

Note

Since Dune 2.4, ForLoop uses variadic templates and perfect forwarding and thus supports arbitrary numbers of arguments to apply(), which can be any combination of lvalues and rvalues.
