I am facing a problem that I cannot see how it is solvable without #defines or incuring a performance impact although I am sure that someone can point me to a solution.

I have an algorithm that sort of produces a (large) series of values. For simplicity's sake, in the following I pretend it's a for loop in a for loop, although in my code it's more complex than that.

In the core of the loop I need to do calculations with the values being produced. Although the algorithm for the values stays the same, the calculations vary.

So basically, what I have is:

void normal() {

  // "Algorithm" producing numbers (x and y):    
  for (int x=0 ; x<1000 ; x++) {
  for (int y=0 ; y<1000 ; y++) {
    // Calculation with numbers being produced:
    if ( x+y == 800 && y > 790) {
         std::cout << x << ", " << y << std::endl;
    }
    // end of calculation
  }}
}

So, the only part I need to change is

if ( x+y == 800 && y > 790) {
     std::cout << x << ", " << y << std::endl;
}

So, in order to solve that, I could construct an abstract base class:

class inner_0 {
   public: 
   virtual void call(int x, int y) = 0;
 };

and derive a "callable" class from it:

class inner : public inner_0 {
  public: 
  virtual void call(int x, int y) {
    if ( x+y == 800 && y > 790) {
         std::cout << x << ", " << y << std::endl;
    }
  }
};

I can then pass an instance of the class to the "algorithm" like so:

void O(inner i) {

  for (int x=0 ; x<1000 ; x++) {
  for (int y=0 ; y<1000 ; y++) {
      i.call(x,y);
  }}
}

// somewhere else....

inner I;
O(I);

In my case, I incur a performance hit because there is an indirect call via virtual function table. So I was thinking about a way around it. It's possible with two #defines:

#define OUTER                           \
        for (int x=0 ; x<1000 ; x++) {  \
        for (int y=0 ; y<1000 ; y++) {  \
             INNER                      \
        }}

//  later...
#define INNER                 \
if (x + y == 800 && y > 790)  \
    std::cout << x << ", " << y << std::endl;

OUTER

While this certainly works, I am not 100% happy with it because I don't necessarly like #defines.

So, my question: is there a better way for what I want to achieve?
