I wonder if there is a light, straight forward way to compute loops such as for and range based for loops in parallel in C++. How would you implement such a thing? From Scala I know the map, filter and foreach functions maybe it would also possible to perform these parallel? Is there an easy way to achieve this in C++. My primary plattform is Linux but it would be nice if it works cross-plattform.
With the parallel algorithms in C++17 we can now use:
std::vector<std::string> foo;
std::for_each(
std::execution::par_unseq,
foo.begin(),
foo.end(),
[](auto&& item)
{
//do stuff with item
});
to compute loops in parallel. The first parameter specifies the execution policy
