BOOST_FOREACH is a macro which makes it simple to iterate over a
sequence. It is concise, and clearly expresses the programmer's
intentions. For example:

     short array_short[] = {1,2,3};
     BOOST_FOREACH( short & i, array_short )
     {
         ++i;
     }
     // array_short contains {2,3,4} here

Recent changes I have made to the macro have greatly increased its
safety and usefulness. It gracefully handles both L-value and R-value
sequence expression, and evaluates its arguments only once. It now works
(to a greater or lesser extent) on a wide range of compilers, even VC6.

The current implementation, documentation and tests can be found in the
