Splittable¶

[req.splittable]

A type is splittable if it has a splitting constructor that allows an instance to be split into two pieces. The splitting constructor takes as arguments a reference to the original object, and a dummy argument of type split, which is defined by the library. The dummy argument distinguishes the splitting constructor from a copy constructor. After the constructor runs, x and the newly constructed object should represent the two pieces of the original x. The library uses splitting constructors in two contexts:

Partitioning a range into two subranges that can be processed concurrently.
Forking a body (function object) into two bodies that can run concurrently.

Types that meets Range requirements may additionally defines an optional proportional splitting constructor, distinguished by an argument of type proportional_split Class.

A type X satisfies the Splittable if it meets the following requirements:

Splittable Requirements: Pseudo-Signature, Semantics

X::X(X &x, split)¶: Split x into x and newly constructed object.
