    <p>I'm writing a game using SFML and C++11 features, such as the range loop. When working on tile maps, I basically made a class for each map tile, a light-weight class that simply contains its sprite, position, and such, and then built some nested vectors to represent the game map layers.</p> <p>In order to optimize the process of drawing thousands of objects on the screen at a time, I was simply drawing what the player sees. This went well.</p> <p>I have the following method that renders the game map, the condition basically returns true if the tile position is within the camera boundaries</p> <pre><code>void gameMap::render(sf::RenderWindow &amp;winMain, sf::Vector2f offset) { for(vector&lt;int&gt; vec1 : backgroundData) for(int i : vec1) if(collides(i.pos, offset) myWindow.draw(i.sprite); } </code></pre> <p>it works fine, however in-game I am getting 30 FPS roughly, and a lot of rough movement. But what surprises me is that the code bellow does the same thing, renders the same amount of tile sprites, but <strong>runs at 65 fps</strong> and the movement is perfectly smooth</p> <pre><code>void gameMap::render(sf::RenderWindow &amp;winMain, sf::Vector2f offset) { for(int i = 0; i &lt; backgroundTiles.size(); i++) for(int j = 0; j &lt; backgroundTiles[i].size(); j++) if(collides(backgroundTiles[i][j].pos, offset) myWindow.draw(backgroundTiles[i][j].sprite); } </code></pre> <p>Why is this happening? Is the C++11 range-based loop so much slower than the old school for? I really want to hear an answer to this, because my eyes honestly prefer the range based loop, and I'd hate to find out that the range based loop is twice as slow.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
