------------------------------------
Summary: Consider enhancing for loop to provide access to loop
index or iterator
Key: GROOVY-10683
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10683
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: parser-antlr4
Reporter: Eric Milles
When iterating over an array or iterable, there is choice between traditional
counting loop for index access, declaring/managing an external variable to
leverage for-each loop, or switching to {{eachWithIndex}} which requires quite
a bit more runtime investment.
{code:groovy}
for (int i = 0, n = array.length; i < n; i += 1) {
def val = array[i]
}
int idx = 0; for (val in array) {
idx += 1;
}
// idiomatic and takes care of all the management, but lacks STC support for
primitive arrays and adds the cost of method invocation for each iteration
array.eachWithIndex { val, idx ->
}
{code}
Please consider the possibility of {{for}} loop enhancements of
[Gosu|https://gosu-lang.github.io/docs.html], which provides a direct syntax
for index or iterator:
{code}
for (val in array index idx) {
}
for (value in iterable iterator iter) {
}
{code}
