Skipping in Range-based for based on 'index'?

Question

Is there a way to access the iterator (suppose there\'s no loop index..?) in a C++11 range-based for loop?

Often we need to do something special with the fi

Answer 1

Boost provides a nice succinct way to do this:

std::vector<int> xs{ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
for (const auto &x : boost::make_iterator_range(xs.begin() + 1, xs.end())) {
  std::cout << x << " ";
}
// Prints: 2 3 4 5

You can find make_iterator_range in the boost/range/iterator_range.hpp header.
