Add make_iterator_range(void*, size_t)

[olafvdspek@…]

Could you add a variant of make_iterator_range that takes a pointer and size pair? This is handy when the pointer is the result of a complex expression which you don't want to repeat or assign to a temp var.

Hi Neil,

Need any help on this one?

Patch for Boost.Range implementing make_iterator_range(begin, size)

[Kyle Lutz <kyle.r.lutz@…>]

Hi,

I also think this functionality would be useful. I've attached a patch implementing make_iterator_range() overload for an iterator and a size.

Implemented this as make_iterator_range_n to avoid ambiguity issues and to make the semantics clearly distinct from the make_iterator_range versions that take integer values to adjust the first and last iterators.

This is committed to the develop branch and will shortly merge to master for release 1.56.

Finally, thanks a lot!

Cheeky! You are right though I've been unable to make nearly as much time as I wanted to. I'm finally in a situation where I can have my own life back!

I did look at this numerous times and the patches kept causing numerous regressions when I tested them with code I had access to. I should have reverted to the simple separate function name sooner.

I'll close this when I merge to master. Thanks for your patience.
