Question

How can I iterate over a tuple starting from, say, index 1 to 2? The following doesn’t work.

using boost::fusion::cons;
typedef cons<A, cons<B, cons<C, cons<D> > > > MyTuple;
MyTuple tuple_;

template <class T>
struct DoSomething{

  DoSomething(T& t) : t_(&t){ }

  template <class U>
  void operator()(U u){
    boost::fusion::at<mpl::int_<u> >(*t_);
  }
  T* t_;
};

boost::mpl::for_each< boost::mpl::range_c<int, 1, 3> >( DoSomething<MyTuple>(tuple_) );

Answer 1

I’m not sure about your intent, but will the following code serve your purpose?
I used fusion all over instead of mpl.

struct DoSomething {
  template< class U >
  void operator()( U u ) const {
    std::cout << u << '\n'; // an example
  }
};

using namespace boost::fusion; // Sorry, for brevity

iterator_range<
  result_of::advance_c< result_of::begin< MyTuple >::type, 1 >::type
, result_of::advance_c< result_of::begin< MyTuple >::type, 3 >::type
> ir( advance_c< 1 >( begin( tuple_ ) )
    , advance_c< 3 >( begin( tuple_ ) ) );
for_each( ir, DoSomething() );    

Hope this helps
