3048. transform_reduce(exec, first1, last1, first2, init) discards execution policy

Discussion:

Since there exists only one common Effects element for both the parallel and the non-parallel form of transform_reduce without explicit operation parameters, the current specification of a function call std::transform_reduce(exec, first1, last1, first2, init) has the same effect as if the ExecutionPolicy would have been ignored. Presumably this effect is unintended.

Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4713.

1. Modify 26.10.6 [transform.reduce] as indicated:

   template<class InputIterator1, class InputIterator2, class T>
     T transform_reduce(InputIterator1 first1, InputIterator1 last1,
                        InputIterator2 first2,
                        T init);
   

   -?- Effects: Equivalent to:

   return transform_reduce(first1, last1, first2, init, plus<>(), multiplies<>());
   

   template<class ExecutionPolicy,
            class ForwardIterator1, class ForwardIterator2, class T>
     T transform_reduce(ExecutionPolicy&& exec,
                        ForwardIterator1 first1, ForwardIterator1 last1,
                        ForwardIterator2 first2,
                        T init);
   

   -1- Effects: Equivalent to:

   return transform_reduce(std::forward<ExecutionPolicy>(exec), first1, last1, first2, init, plus<>(), 
   multiplies<>());
