.. title:: clang-tidy - boost-use-ranges
boost-use-ranges
================
Detects calls to standard library iterator algorithms that could be replaced
with a Boost ranges version instead.
Example
-------
.. code-block:: c++
auto Iter1 = std::find(Items.begin(), Items.end(), 0);
auto AreSame = std::equal(Items1.cbegin(), Items1.cend(), std::begin(Items2),
std::end(Items2));
Transforms to:
.. code-block:: c++
auto Iter1 = boost::range::find(Items, 0);
auto AreSame = boost::range::equal(Items1, Items2);

Reverse Iteration
-----------------
If calls are made using reverse iterators on containers, The code will be
fixed using the ``boost::adaptors::reverse`` adaptor.
.. code-block:: c++
auto AreSame = std::equal(Items1.rbegin(), Items1.rend(),
std::crbegin(Items2), std::crend(Items2));
Transforms to:
.. code-block:: c++
auto AreSame = boost::range::equal(boost::adaptors::reverse(Items1),
boost::adaptors::reverse(Items2));
Options
-------
.. option:: IncludeStyle
A string specifying which include-style is used, `llvm` or `google`. Default
is `llvm`.
.. option:: IncludeBoostSystem
If `true` (default value) the boost headers are included as system headers
with angle brackets (`#include <boost.hpp>`), otherwise quotes are used
(`#include "boost.hpp"`).
.. option:: UseReversePipe
When `true` (default `false`), fixes which involve reverse ranges will use the
pipe adaptor syntax instead of the function syntax.
.. code-block:: c++
std::find(Items.rbegin(), Items.rend(), 0);
Transforms to:
.. code-block:: c++
boost::range::find(Items | boost::adaptors::reversed, 0);
