在Bjarne Stroustrup的c++编程语言书中，你可以读到他建议为特定的枚举重载操作符++。枚举是用户定义的类型，语言中存在针对这些特定情况的重载运算符。

你将能够编写以下代码:

#include <iostream>
enum class Colors{red, green, blue};
Colors& operator++(Colors &c, int)
{
     switch(c)
     {
           case Colors::red:
               return c=Colors::green;
           case Colors::green:
               return c=Colors::blue;
           case Colors::blue:
               return c=Colors::red; // managing overflow
           default:
               throw std::exception(); // or do anything else to manage the error...
     }
}

int main()
{
    Colors c = Colors::red;
    // casting in int just for convenience of output. 
    std::cout << (int)c++ << std::endl;
    std::cout << (int)c++ << std::endl;
    std::cout << (int)c++ << std::endl;
    std::cout << (int)c++ << std::endl;
    std::cout << (int)c++ << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

注意，我使用的是枚举类。Code也可以很好地使用enum。但我更喜欢枚举类，因为它们是强类型的，可以防止我们在编译时犯错误。

这些解决方案太复杂了，我喜欢这样:

enum NodePosition { Primary = 0, Secondary = 1, Tertiary = 2, Quaternary = 3};

const NodePosition NodePositionVector[] = { Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary };

for (NodePosition pos : NodePositionVector) {
...
}

使用lambda，我发现这是遍历枚举的最佳(现代)方式。 这大大提高了抽象性。 甚至可以使它成为模板，所以它适用于任何枚举。 这段代码不会给您带来clang(-tidy)问题。

#include <functional>

/// @brief Loop over all enum values where the last enum value is the invalid one
void forEachAction(std::function<void(Enum)> &&doThis) {
    for (int value = 0; value = static_cast<int>(Enum::LastValue); ++value ) {
        doThis(static_cast<Enum>(value ));
    }
}

...

forEachAction([this](Enum value) {
    ...  // what you want to execute for every enum
});

enum class A {
    a0=0, a3=3, a4=4
};
constexpr std::array<A, 3> ALL_A {A::a0, A::a3, A::a4}; // constexpr is important here

for(A a: ALL_A) {
  if(a==A::a0 || a==A::a4) std::cout << static_cast<int>(a);
}

constexpr std::array甚至可以迭代非顺序的枚举，而无需编译器实例化数组。这取决于编译器的优化启发式以及是否取数组的地址。

In my experiments, I found that g++ 9.1 with -O3 will optimize away the above array if there are 2 non-sequential values or quite a few sequential values (I tested up to 6). But it only does this if you have an if statement. (I tried a statement that compared an integer value greater than all the elements in a sequential array and it inlined the iteration despite none being excluded, but when I left out the if statement, the values were put in memory.) It also inlined 5 values from a non-sequential enum in [one case|https://godbolt.org/z/XuGtoc]. I suspect this odd behavior is due to deep heuristics having to do with caches and branch prediction.

这里有一个godbolt的简单测试迭代的链接，演示了数组并不总是被实例化。

这种技术的代价是写入enum元素两次，并保持两个列表同步。

我经常这样做

    enum EMyEnum
    {
        E_First,
        E_Orange = E_First,
        E_Green,
        E_White,
        E_Blue,
        E_Last
    }

    for (EMyEnum i = E_First; i < E_Last; i = EMyEnum(i + 1))
    {}

或者如果不是连续的，但有规则步长(例如位标志)

    enum EAnimalCaps
    {
        E_None    = 0,
        E_First   = 0x1,
        E_CanFly  = E_First,
        E_CanWalk = 0x2
        E_CanSwim = 0x4,
        E_Last
    }
    
    class MyAnimal
    {
       EAnimalCaps m_Caps;
    }

    class Frog
    {
        Frog() : 
            m_Caps(EAnimalCaps(E_CanWalk | E_CanSwim))
        {}
    }

    for (EAnimalCaps= E_First; i < E_Last; i = EAnimalCaps(i << 1))
    {}

扩展@Eponymous的回答:它很棒，但没有提供通用语法。这是我想到的:

// Common/EnumTools.h
#pragma once

#include <array>

namespace Common {

// Here we forward-declare metafunction for mapping enums to their values.
// Since C++<23 doesn't have reflection, you have to populate it yourself :-(
// Usage: After declaring enum class E, add this overload in the namespace of E:
// inline constexpr auto allValuesArray(const E&, Commob::EnumAllValuesTag) { return std::array{E::foo, E::bar}; }
// Then `AllValues<NS::E>` will call `allValuesArray(NS::E{}, EnumAllValuesTag)` which will resolve
// by ADL.
// Just be sure to keep it sync'd with your enum!

// Here's what you want to use in, e.g., loops: "for (auto val : Common::AllValues<MyEnum>) {"

struct EnumAllValuesTag {}; // So your allValuesArray function is clearly associated with this header.

template <typename Enum>
static inline constexpr auto AllValues = allValuesArray(Enum{}, EnumAllValuesTag{});
// ^ Just "constexpr auto" or "constexpr std::array<Enum, allValuesArray(Enum{}, EnumAllValuesTag{}).size()>" didn't work on all compilers I'm using, but this did.

} // namespace Common

然后在你的命名空间:

#include "Common/EnumTools.h"

namespace MyNamespace {

enum class MyEnum {
    foo,
    bar = 4,
    baz = 42,
};

// Making this not have to be in the `Common` namespace took some thinking,
// but is a critical feature since otherwise there's no hope in keeping it sync'd with the enum.
inline constexpr auto allValuesArray(const MyEnum&, Common::EnumAllValuesTag) {
    return std::array{ MyEnum::foo, MyEnum::bar, MyEnum::baz };
}

} // namespace MyNamespace

然后在任何需要使用它的地方:

for (const auto& e : Common::AllValues<MyNamespace::MyEnum>) { ... }

所以即使你有typeded:

namespace YourNS {
using E = MyNamespace::MyEnum;
} // namespace YourNS

for (const auto& e : Common::AllValues<YourNS::E>) { ... }

我想不出比这更好的了，除了每个人都想要的实际语言功能。

未来工作:

您应该能够添加一个constexpr函数(以及一个元函数)来过滤Common::AllValues<E>，从而为枚举具有重复数值的情况提供一个Common::AllDistinctValues<E>，例如enum {foo = 0, bar = 0};。 我打赌有一种方法可以使用编译器的switch- coverage -all-enum-values来编写allValuesArray，这样如果枚举添加了一个值，它就会出错。
