Discussion:
26.3.5[algorithms.parallel.overloads]/2 says that "Unless otherwise specified, the semantics ofExecutionPolicy algorithm overloads are identical to their overloads without."
ExecutionPolicy overloads forstd::copy andstd::move, so the requirement that they "start[] from first and proceed[] to last" in the original algorithm's description would seem to apply, which defeats the whole point of adding a parallel overload.[2016-05 Issues Telecon]
Marshall noted that all three versions of copy have subtly different wording, and suggested that they should not.
Proposed resolution:
This wording is relative to N4582.
Insert the following paragraphs after 26.7.1[alg.copy]/4:
template<class ExecutionPolicy, class InputIterator, class OutputIterator> OutputIterator copy(ExecutionPolicy&& policy, InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator result);-?-Requires: The ranges
-?-Effects: Copies elements in the range[first, last)and[result, result + (last - first))shall not overlap.[first, last)into the range[result, result + (last -first)). For each non-negative integern < (last - first), performs*(result + n) = *(first + n).-?-Returns:result + (last - first).-?-Complexity: Exactlylast - firstassignments.
