3552. Parallel specialized memory algorithms should require forward iterators

Section: 20.2.2 [memory.syn] Status: WP Submitter: Tim Song Opened: 2021-05-16 Last modified: 2021-06-07

Discussion:

The parallel versions of uninitialized_{copy,move}{,_n} are currently depicted as accepting input iterators for their source range. Similar to the non-uninitialized versions, they should require the source range to be at least forward.

[2021-05-20; Reflector poll]

Set status to Tentatively Ready after six votes in favour during reflector poll.

[2021-06-07 Approved at June 2021 virtual plenary. Status changed: Voting → WP.]

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4885.

1. Modify 20.2.2 [memory.syn], header <memory> synopsis, as indicated:
