Function template copy

hpx::parallel::v1::copy

Synopsis

// In header: <hpx/parallel/detail/copy.hpp>


template<typename ExPolicy, typename InIter, typename OutIter> 
  unspecified copy(ExPolicy && policy, InIter first, InIter last, 
                   OutIter dest);

Description

Copies the elements in the range, defined by [first, last), to another range beginning at dest.

	Note
	Complexity: Performs exactly last - first assignments.

The assignments in the parallel copy algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type sequential_execution_policy execute in sequential order in the calling thread.

The assignments in the parallel copy algorithm invoked with an execution policy object of type parallel_execution_policy or task_execution_policy are permitted to execute in an unordered fashion in unspecified threads, and indeterminately sequenced within each thread.

Parameters:

`dest`	Refers to the beginning of the destination range.
`first`	Refers to the beginning of the sequence of elements the algorithm will be applied to.
`last`	Refers to the end of the sequence of elements the algorithm will be applied to.
`policy`	The execution policy to use for the scheduling of the iterations.

Template Parameters:

`ExPolicy`	The type of the execution policy to use (deduced). It describes the manner in which the execution of the algorithm may be parallelized and the manner in which it executes the assignments.
`InIter`	The type of the source iterators used (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of an input iterator.
`OutIter`	The type of the iterator representing the destination range (deduced). This iterator type must meet the requirements of an output iterator.

Returns:

The copy algorithm returns a hpx::future<OutIter> if the execution policy is of type task_execution_policy and returns OutIter otherwise. The copy algorithm returns the output iterator to the element in the destination range, one past the last element copied.
