combinable#

[tls.combinable]

A class template for holding thread-local values during a parallel computation that will be merged into a final value.

A combinable provides each thread with its own instance of type T.

// Defined in header <oneapi/tbb/combinable.h>

namespace oneapi {
namespace tbb {
    template <typename T>
    class combinable {
    public:
        combinable();

        combinable(const combinable& other);
        combinable(combinable&& other);

        template <typename FInit>
        explicit combinable(FInit finit);

        ~combinable();

        combinable& operator=( const combinable& other);
        combinable& operator=( combinable&& other);

        void clear();

        T& local();
        T& local(bool & exists);

        template<typename BinaryFunc> T combine(BinaryFunc f);
        template<typename UnaryFunc> void combine_each(UnaryFunc f);
    };
} // namespace tbb
} // namespace oneapi

Member functions#

combinable()#: Constructs combinable such that thread-local instances of T will be default-constructed.

template<typename FInit> explicit combinable(FInit finit)#: Constructs combinable such that thread-local elements will be created by copying the result of finit().

Caution

The expression finit() must be safe to evaluate concurrently by multiple threads. It is evaluated each time a new thread-local element is created.

combinable(const combinable &other)#: Constructs a copy of other, so that it has copies of each element in other with the same thread mapping.

combinable(combinable &&other)#: Constructs combinable by moving the content of other intact. other is left in an unspecified state but can be safely destroyed.

~combinable()#: Destroys all elements in *this.

combinable &operator=(const combinable &other)#: Sets *this to be a copy of other. Returns a reference to *this.

combinable &operator=(combinable &&other)#: Moves the content of other to *this intact. other is left in an unspecified state but can be safely destroyed. Returns a reference to *this.

void clear()#: Removes all elements from *this.

T &local()#

If an element does not exist for the current thread, creates it.

Returns: Reference to thread-local element.

T &local(bool &exists)#

Similar to local(), except that exists is set to true if an element was already present for the current thread; false, otherwise.

Returns: Reference to thread-local element.

template<typename BinaryFunc> T combine(BinaryFunc f)#

Requires: A BinaryFunc must meet the Function Objects requirements described in the [function.objects] section of the ISO C++ standard. Specifically, the type should be an associative binary functor with the signature T BinaryFunc(T,T) or T BinaryFunc(const T&,const T&). A T type must be the same as a corresponding template parameter for the combinable object.

Effects: Computes a reduction over all elements using binary functor f. All evaluations of f are done sequentially in the calling thread. If there are no elements, creates the result using the same rules as for creating a new element.

Returns: Result of the reduction.

template<typename UnaryFunc> void combine_each(UnaryFunc f)#

Requires: An UnaryFunc must meet the Function Objects requirements described in the [function.objects] section of the ISO C++ standard. Specifically, the type should be an unary functor with the one of the signatures: void UnaryFunc(T), void UnaryFunc(T&), or void UnaryFunc(const T&) A T type must be the same as a corresponding template parameter for the enumerable_thread_specific object.

Effects: Evaluates f(x) for each thread-local element x in *this. All evaluations are done sequentially in the calling thread.

Note

Methods of class combinable are not thread-safe, except for local.
