Actually, we should probably get a test of some sort here before accepting the change. Yes, it's fairly obviously wrong and the fix is fairly obviously correct, but it's a regression and we should provide tests for regressions, lest certain standard library maintainers ask uncomfortable questions.
Do you mean a test should we added which will coverage the fixed error? In other words we need a test which checks following thing:
"Parallel algorithms shall not participate in overload resolution unless is_execution_policy_v<decay_-
t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true."
Right?
As far as I understand we should one call pear each algorithm with "fake" policy for is_execution_policy_v<fake_policy> is false and get a compilation error like "exclusive_scan(....).... is not found".
Otherwise, test "fail". So, it is "negative" test, right?
So, I have two questions:
- Does LLVM test system support a negative test?
- If yes, to cover the all cases (to be sure that "enable_if is present") we have to add more 80 negative test units.
Or we are talking about just a regression test which accepts the changes? In that case a regression test here is scan.pass.cpp.
Right.

Yes it does. See (for example) "test/std/iterators/iterator.container/empty.array.fail.cpp"
- If yes, to cover the all cases (to be sure that "enable_if is present") we have to add more 80 negative test units.
Agreed.
Hah, I didn't have you in mind specifically, but rather that other standard library maintainer that asked me about it.
I don't think we need all 80 tests to proceed with this commit, but here is as good a starting point as any on the process of adding such tests.
Added a negative test for exclusive_scan algorithm. It checks non-participation the algo declare in overload resolution.

- The test was improved.
- Minor changes in PSTL code. It needs for possibility of coverage that case in "negative test scenario".
I'm committing this now, sorry it was lost in the weeds. I've made some minor fixes before committing, and I'm documenting them here for completeness.

26 | This will make the tests fail cause pstl/ is not using the same lit configuration as libc++, for now it doesn't support fail tests. So I've removed this from the pstl tests, however when the libc++ test suite is run with pstl enabled, the test will be picked up. | |
