### 1109. `std::includes` should require `CopyConstructible` predicate

Section: 27.8.7.2 [includes] Status: NAD Concepts Submitter: Alisdair Meredith Opened: 2009-04-28 Last modified: 2016-01-28

Discussion:

All the set operation algorithms require a `CopyConstructible` predicate, with the exception of `std::includes`. This looks like a typo as much as anything, given the general library requirement that predicates are copy constructible, and wording style of other set-like operations.

> We agree with the proposed resolution. Move to NAD Editorial.

Proposed resolution:

Change [algorithms.syn] and 27.8.7.2 [includes]:

>     template<InputIterator Iter1, InputIterator Iter2,
>              typename CopyConstructible Compare>
>       requires Predicate<Compare, Iter1::value_type, Iter2::value_type>
>             && Predicate<Compare, Iter2::value_type, Iter1::value_type>
>       bool includes(Iter1 first1, Iter1 last1,
>                     Iter2 first2, Iter2 last2,
>                     Compare comp);
