While we love
constand use it almost everywhere possible, we conventionally omit it in one place. Top-levelconston value parameters in function declarations is immediately ignored by the language/compiler and serves no purpose (it makes no difference to callers).I noticed that we accumulated several occurrences of this in our declarations of parallel algorithms, so I audited all of our
_ExPo&&functions. I also noticed one more occurrence in_Buffered_inplace_merge_unchecked(). This is pretty hard to search for, so I don't claim that this is an exhaustive cleanup.
