We can either use iterators, which requires a considerable amount of boiler-plate, or we can use the std::for_each() algorithm and move our loop body into a predicate, which requires no less boiler-plate and forces us to move our logic far from where it will be used. In contrast, some other languages, like Perl, provide a dedicated "foreach" construct that automates this process. BOOST_FOREACH is just such a construct for C++. It iterates over sequences for us, freeing us from having to deal directly with iterators or write predicates. libs/foreach/ false false Algorithms Emulation format 1.29.0 Format Samuel Krempp The format library provides a class for formatting arguments according to a format-string, as does printf, but with two major differences: format sends the arguments to an internal stream, and so is entirely type-safe and naturally supports all user-defined types; the ellipsis (...) can not be used correctly in the strongly typed context of format, and thus the function call with arbitrary arguments is replaced by successive calls to an argument feeding operator%. libs/format/ false false String IO function 1.23.0 Function Doug Gregor Function object wrappers for deferred calls or callbacks. libs/function/ false true Function-objects Programming function_types 1.35.0 Function Types Tobias Schwinger Boost.FunctionTypes provides functionality to classify, decompose and synthesize function, function pointer, function reference and pointer to member types. libs/function_types/ false false Generic Metaprogramming functional 1.16.0 Functional Mark Rodgers The Boost.Function library contains a family of class templates that are function object wrappers. libs/functional/ false false Function-objects functional/hash 1.33.0 Functional/Hash Daniel James A TR1 hash function object that can be extended to hash user defined types. libs/functional/hash/ false true Function-objects functional/factory 1.43.0 Functional/Factory Tobias Schwinger Function object templates for dynamic and static object creation libs/functional/factory/ false false Function-objects functional/forward 1.43.0 Functional/Forward Tobias Schwinger Adapters to allow generic function objects to accept arbitrary arguments libs/functional/forward/ false false Function-objects functional/overloaded_function 1.50.0 Functional/Overloaded Function Lorenzo Caminiti Overload different functions into a single function object. libs/functional/overloaded_function/ false false Function-objects fusion 1.35.0 Fusion Joel de Guzman, Dan Marsden and Tobias Schwinger Library for working with tuples, including various containers, algorithms, etc. libs/fusion/doc/html/ false false Metaprogramming Data geometry 1.47.0 Geometry Barend Gehrels, Bruno Lalande and Mateusz Loskot Geometry Library. libs/geometry/ false false Algorithms Math geometry 1.47.0 1.54.0 Geometry Barend Gehrels, Bruno Lalande, Mateusz Loskot and Adam Wulkiewicz Geometry Library. libs/geometry/ false false Algorithms Math gil 1.35.0 GIL Lubomir Bourdev and Hailin Jin Generic Image Library libs/gil/ false false Containers Iterators Algorithms Generic Image-processing graph 1.18.0 Graph Jeremy Siek and a University of Notre Dame team; now maintained by Andrew Sutton and Jeremiah Willcock.
