A practical Rust toolkit for heuristic single-, multi-, and many-objective optimization.

//! Population-wide evaluation helper used by the population-based algorithms.
//!
//! Two cfg-gated implementations:
//!
//! - With the `parallel` feature: rayon's `into_par_iter` evaluates decisions
//!   on the global thread pool. The result preserves input order so any
//!   downstream sort/dominance/crowding decisions remain reproducible.
//! - Without the feature: plain serial `into_iter`.
//!
//! Both implementations require `P: Problem + Sync` and `P::Decision: Send`,
//! so each algorithm's `Optimizer<P>` impl carries the same bounds regardless
//! of feature state. This keeps the public `Problem` trait itself unchanged.
