The member functions in this section iterate across the entire container sequentially in the calling thread.

.. namespace:: tbb::enumerable_thread_specific

.. cpp:function:: template<typename BinaryFunc> T combine(BinaryFunc f)

    **Requires**: A ``BinaryFunc`` must meet the `Function Objects` requirements from the [function.objects] ISO C++ Standard section.
    Specifically, the type should be an associative binary functor with the signature ``T BinaryFunc(T,T)`` or ``T BinaryFunc(const T&,const T&)``.
    A ``T`` type must be the same as a corresponding template parameter for ``enumerable_thread_specific`` object.

    **Effects**: Computes reduction over all elements using binary functor ``f``.
    If there are no elements, creates the result using the same rules as for creating a thread-local element.

    **Returns**: Result of the reduction.

.. cpp:function:: template<typename UnaryFunc> void combine_each(UnaryFunc f)

    **Requires**: An ``UnaryFunc`` must meet the `Function Objects` requirements from the [function.objects] ISO C++ Standard section.
    Specifically, the type should be an unary functor with one of signatures: ``void UnaryFunc(T)``, ``void UnaryFunc(T&)``, or ``void UnaryFunc(const T&)``
    A ``T`` type must be the same as a corresponding template parameter for the ``enumerable_thread_specific`` object.

    **Effects**: Evaluates ``f(x)`` for each instance ``x`` of ``T`` in ``*this``.
