Sorry, what copying?<br></blockquote><div><br>If "const T&" is used, then users can't pass mutable data - which seems like a reasonable thing users of a parallel API might want (I want to do a parellel mutation of data - like if I have a vector of vectors and want to reduce the subvectors in some way - replace them with a single-element vector containing the sum of the elements of the original vector)<br><br>If "T" is used, then they can mutate data, but would've had to copy it first, which probably defeats the point (since then the side effects get thrown away at the end)<br><br>But sure - if you want to restrict the use of the API to non-mutating cases for now, it's your/LLD's code. But it seems like a reasonable implementation to use T&& thus allowing mutation or non-mutation (same as a normal for loop, or std::for_each, etc) without waiting for the specific use case.<br><br>Up to you,<br>- Dave<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Since this is an algorithm and not an adapter, no copying is necessary,<br>
right? If that is the case I think it is probably better to use "const<br>
T&".<br>
