Simplifying Loops with C++11 in Qt Ways
Recently, I looked through the code base of a medium-sized project to see how I could simplify handwritten for-loops by using C++11’s new range-based for and STL algorithms with lambda expressions. The results in short: Range-based for makes loops simpler, easier to understand and often faster. STL algorithms are often a bit harder to read and write than range-based for loops, because lambda expressions are pretty clumsy, algorithm naming is inconsistent, and algorithm interfaces are inconvenient. But, they are still better than handwritten for-loops.
