[stmt.ranged]

The range-based for statement

_{o p t}

for-range-declaration : for-range-initializer ) statement

is equivalent to

{
init-statement

_{o p t}

auto &&range = for-range-initializer ;
auto begin = begin-expr ;
auto end = end-expr ;
for ( ; begin != end; ++begin ) {
for-range-declaration = * begin ;
statement
}
}

where

(1.1)
if the for-range-initializer is an expression, it is regarded as if it were surrounded by parentheses (so that a comma operator cannot be reinterpreted as delimiting two init-declarators);
(1.2)
range, begin, and end are variables defined for exposition only; and
(1.3)
begin-expr and end-expr are determined as follows:
- (1.3.1)
  if the for-range-initializer is an expression of array type R, begin-expr and end-expr are range and range + N, respectively, where N is the array bound. If R is an array of unknown bound or an array of incomplete type, the program is ill-formed;
- (1.3.2)
  if the for-range-initializer is an expression of class type C, the unqualified-ids begin and end are looked up in the scope of C as if by class member access lookup ([basic.lookup.classref]), and if both find at least one declaration, begin-expr and end-expr are range.begin() and range.end(), respectively;
- (1.3.3)
  otherwise, begin-expr and end-expr are begin(range) and end(range), respectively, where begin and end are looked up in the associated namespaces ([basic.lookup.argdep]).
  [Note
  : Ordinary unqualified lookup ([basic.lookup.unqual]) is not performed. — end note
  ]

[Example

int array[5] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
for (int& x : array)
  x *= 2;
