There is an issue here that this routine assumes that the result of the operation is CopyConstructible and Assignable. However, this is the same requirement placed on T in std::accumulate(), and the original routine even assumed Assignability of the input iterator's value_type, which in fact _IS NOT_ guaranteed!. This proposal does not assume this (since it doesn't need it anymore), by also replacing the first assignment by a copy construction. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22634
