Iterating over two things simultaneously is called a “zip” (from functional programming), and Boost has a zip iterator:
The zip iterator provides the ability to parallel-iterate over several
controlled sequences simultaneously. A zip iterator is constructed
from a tuple of iterators. Moving the zip iterator moves all the
iterators in parallel. Dereferencing the zip iterator returns a tuple
that contains the results of dereferencing the individual iterators.
Note that it’s an iterator, not a range, so to use BOOST_FOREACH you’re going to have to stuff two of them into an iterator_range or pair. So it won’t be pretty, but with a bit of care you can probably come up with a simple zip_range and write:
BOOST_FOREACH(boost::tuple<int,int> &p, zip_range(v1, v2)) {
doSomething(p.get<0>(), p.get<1>());
}
Or special-case for 2 and use std::pair rather than boost::tuple.
I suppose that since doSomething might have parameters (int&, int&), actually we want a tuple<int&,int&>. Hope it works.
