parallel_for_

edit savecancel

If you don't see ten times "start" it's because the parallel framework doesn't launch as many threads as your range. Write this instead:

void ParallelClass::operator()( const cv::Range & r ) const {
    // loop for the range
    for( int i = r.start ; i < r.end ; ++r ) {
        std::cout << "start" << std::endl;
    }
}

Therefore you will see your start written 10 times. The reason is the parallel binding used (concurency, tbb, etc.) cut your loop in smaller pieces, and you still need to execute your code for a range (argument is a range not an index), sometimes the range could be one, but it's an exception, not the norm.

When I encountered parallel_for_ for the first time I posted here a question about how to use it properly. I got very good answers from @alexcv and @Vladislav Vinogradov. I know that this is not a whole answer to your question, i.e. it doesn't explain why your approach is not working, but at least it shows you what approach will work.
