[LLVMdev] faster?

[Chris Lattner]

I don't think he's asking about code in the compiler itself.  In any case, the foreach loop doesn't evaluate "end()" every iteration of the loop.  Depending in what the container is, that could be worse.

My advice is to use the foreach loop and file a bug if you find a case that is ever slower.
