thrust::transform

Defined in thrust/transform.h

template<typename DerivedPolicy, typename InputIterator, typename OutputIterator, typename UnaryFunction> OutputIterator thrust::transform(const thrust::detail::execution_policy_base<DerivedPolicy> &exec, InputIterator first, InputIterator last, OutputIterator result, UnaryFunction op)

This version of transform applies a unary function to each element of an input sequence and stores the result in the corresponding position in an output sequence. Specifically, for each iterator i in the range [first, last) the operation op(*i) is performed and the result is assigned to *o, where o is the corresponding output iterator in the range [result, result + (last - first) ). The input and output sequences may coincide, resulting in an in-place transformation.

The algorithm’s execution is parallelized as determined by exec.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use transform to negate a range in-place using the thrust::host execution policy for parallelization:

#include <thrust/transform.h>
#include <thrust/functional.h>
#include <thrust/execution_policy.h>
...

int data[10] = {-5, 0, 2, -3, 2, 4, 0, -1, 2, 8};

thrust::negate<int> op;
thrust::transform(thrust::host, data, data + 10, data, op); // in-place transformation

// data is now {5, 0, -2, 3, -2, -4, 0, 1, -2, -8};

Some backends of transform may take advantage knowing if the transformation operation supports copyable arguments.
