.. 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);

Supported algorithms
--------------------

Calls to the following std library algorithms are checked:

``std::search``,
``std::set_difference``,
``std::set_intersection``,
``std::set_symmetric_difference``,

``std::sort``,
``std::stable_partition``,
``std::stable_sort``,
``std::transform``,
``std::unique_copy``,
``std::unique``,
``std::upper_bound``.

The check will also look for the following functions from the
``boost::algorithm`` namespace:

``all_of_equal``,
``any_of_equal``,
``any_of``,
``apply_permutation``,
``apply_reverse_permutation``,
``clamp_range``,

``hex``,
``iota``, ``all_of``,

``none_of_equal``,
``none_of``,
``one_of_equal``,
``one_of``,
``partition_copy``,
``partition_point``,
``reduce``,
``unhex``.

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);
