是什么意思?for (const auto &s : strs) {} "意思是? [英] What does " for (const auto &s : strs) {} " mean?

问题描述

What does for (const auto &s : strs) mean? What is the function of colon :?

vector<string> &strs;
for (const auto &s : strs){
   //
}

解决方案

It's actually a C++11 feature called "range-based for-loops".

In this case, it's basically an easier-to-write replacement for:

// Let's assume this vector is not empty.
vector<string> strs;

const vector<string>::iterator end_it = strs.end();

for (vector<string>::iterator it = strs.begin(); it != end_it; ++it) {
  const string& s = *it;
  // Some code here...
}

The : is part of the new syntax.

On the left you basically have a variable declaration that will be bound to the elements of the vector and one the right you have the variable to iterate on (also called "range expression").

Here is an excerpt of the linked documentation that explains the prerequisites for the range-expressions:

range_expression is evaluated to determine the sequence or range to iterate. Each element of the sequence, in turn, is dereferenced and assigned to the variable with the type and name given in range_declaration.

begin_expr and end_expr are defined as follows:

If __range is an array, then begin_expr is __range and end_expr is (__range + __bound), where __bound is the number of elements in the array (if the array has unknown size or is of an incomplete type, the program is ill-formed)

If __range's type is a class type with either or both a begin or an end member function, then begin_expr is __range.begin() and end_expr is __range.end();

Otherwise, begin_expr is begin(__range) and end_expr is end(__range), which are found via argument-dependent lookup with std as an associated namespace.

Note that thanks to all this, range-based for loops also support iterating over C arrays as std::begin/std::end works with those too.
