Hi All, I would like to merge [functor]'s branch generators-FUNCTOR-14 [1], related to issue FUNCTOR-14 [2].
This the summary of the changes in that branch: - New subpackage, o.a.c.functor.generator.loop - New generator type added, LoopGenerator, that can be stopped - The BaseGenerator has no long isStopped() or stop() methods. Both have been moved to the LoopGenerator. - Ranges are no long generators - New package o.a.c.functor.range - Range extends Iterable and Iterator interfaces The motivation for these changes were to be able to create generators that didn't have the stoppable behaviour (thus the new package and type), and to be able to have simple ranges in for loops. Before the new range package, in order to iterate over the created range, you would have to write a Procedure that would be used as a callback for each range element. Now, by extending Iterable/Iterator you can do as follows: +--snippet--+ Range<Integer, Integer> n = new IntegerRange(0, 10); for (int i : n) { System.out.printf("%d ", i); } +--snippet--+ That produces 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 , or even a range like: +--snippet--+ for (int i : Ranges.integerRange(0, BoundType.OPEN, 10, BoundType.OPEN, 2)) { // 2 is the step System.out.printf("%d ", i); } +--snippet--+ That produces 2 4 6 8 . Any thoughts/objections on this? Thank you in advance!
