Description Hossein 2023-01-19 14:57:24 UTC
Since C++11, STL provides means to process containers easier than before. Some of the available functions inside <algorithm> are describe below:

std::all_of
  Test the condition on all of the elements
  https://cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/all_of/
std::any_of
  Test if any element satisfies the condition
  https://cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/any_of/
std::none_of
  Test if no elements satisfies the condition
  https://cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/none_of/

In the above links, you can find description for each of the above functions. Beyond that, you can find good tutorials for these functions. For example:

The big STL Algorithms tutorial: all_of, any_of, none_of
https://www.sandordargo.com/blog/2019/02/20/stl-algorithm-tutorial-part-1-any-all-none

For examples of such changes inside LibreOffice code, see this commits:

writerfilter: use std::any_of() e542b622aeb70230365971cab4838dbe0b6e0a93%5E%21

desktop: simplify code by std::none_of b4848def4684ad277af23a10d73b4b5c9cb201fb

xmloff: simplify code by using std::all_of/std::any_of/std::none_of c675a2d669c191f3b18ae006c78ef83efba14c30

You have to make sure that you keep the code behavior unchanged when using the above STD functions.

Thanks Hossein. Sounds good to me.

Marking 4.4 as earliest affected as that's when C++11 started being used AFAIK. (e.g. https://meeksfamily.uk/~michael/blog/2015-01-29-under-the-hood-4-4.html and https://archive.fosdem.org/2015/schedule/event/editors_cpp11_libreoffice/attachments/slides/633/export/events/attachments/editors_cpp11_libreoffice/slides/633/FOSDEM2015_LibreOffice_C_11.pdf)

Hi, I'd like to take a look at this.
Comment 3 Mike Kaganski 2023-03-15 03:18:51 UTC
Note that a common sense should apply: this change should not be applied when it doesn't improve things: sometimes the loop is optimal both in terms of performance and readability.
