Question

I have a container class (containing a multi-index container) for which I have a public “foreach” member-function, so users can pass a functor to apply on all elements.
While implementing, I had a case where the functor should only be applied to some elements of a range in the container, so I overloaded the foreach, to pass some valid range.
Now, in some cases, it was worthwhile to stop on a certain condition, so practically, I let the foreach stop based on the return-value of the function.

I’m pleased with how the system works, but I have one concern:
How should a “foreach” on a range, with stop conditions be called?
Anyone knows a generic, clear and concise name?

Answer 1

Based on your description, i’d go for apply_until().
