'for' loop vs Qt's 'foreach' in C++

Question

Which is better (or faster), a C++ for loop or the foreach operator provided by Qt? For example, the following condition

QList

        

Answer 1

The foreach from Qt has a clearer syntax for the for loop IMHO, so it's better in that sense. Performance wise I doubt there's anything in it.

You could consider using the BOOST_FOREACH instead, as it is a well thought out fancy for loop, and it's portable (and presumably will make it's way into C++ some day and is future proof too).
