I was coding a project that used arrays when the lack of a standard foreach in C/C++ got to me. So, I coded this little function to help me. It applies a function that returns int to each element of the array.

template function to create a boost::shared_ptr in the form

boost::shared_ptr classPtr = new_ptr(Arg1, Arg2);

You can also make new_ptr_access a friend of className and make the constructor and destructor private.

This keeps the end user from:

Creating an instance manually on the heap
Creating an instance manually on the stack
Deleting a shared_ptr manually using "delete get()"

Transform any basic type to string. Very handy for log messages

Usage:

int i(12);
float j(3.14);
cout
