I'm not a big fan of keeping the FOR_EACH_blah style iterator and would

about how to start breaking these things out.


BTW I've tried to propose to start doing that (using C++ 'standard'
iteration concepts) a while ago:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-12/msg01129.html

Unfortunately the discussion didn't go anywhere.  Maybe the patch could
serve as a starting point for something/somebody.

I think Trevor had some good comments, particularly WRT overloading. Ithink that in general we want to avoid those kind of overloads.

I do agree with your assertion that utilizing standard facilities, makesunderstanding an existing code base easier. That applies to iteratorstyles, exploiting code in the standard library, etc etc.

WRT discussion dying off, yea, that will tend to happen with proposalsmade in mid December -- folks are focused on regression bugfixing, thenthe holidays, then more regression bugfixing. Things like this justaren't a priority.
