Are range algorithms on buffers functional enough to use?

[denommenator]

I've been trying to run some dpl algorithms on sub-ranges of sycl::buffers but have not been successful using the ranges library to do so. Here is a minimal example of what I'm talking about. The copy using all_view works, but the copies using a drop view in either the read or the write cause a compilation failure. (I'm using the intel/LLVM repo built on linux with a cuda backend).

#include <oneapi/dpl/execution>
#include <oneapi/dpl/iterator>
#include <oneapi/dpl/algorithm>
#include <oneapi/dpl/ranges>

#include <sycl/sycl.hpp>

#include <vector>

int main()
{
  std::vector<int> data = {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7};
  std::vector<int> result(5, 0);
  {
    namespace rng = dpl::experimental::ranges;
    sycl::buffer dataB(data);
    sycl::buffer resultB(result);
    
    auto data_view = rng::views::all_read(dataB);
    auto result_view = rng::views::all_write(resultB);

    auto data_drop_view = data_view | rng::views::drop(1);
    auto result_drop_view = result_view | rng::views::drop(1);

    rng::copy(dpl::execution::dpcpp_default, data_view, result_view);
    //rng::copy(dpl::execution::dpcpp_default, data_drop_view, result_view); //compilation failure
    //rng::copy(dpl::execution::dpcpp_default, data_view, result_drop_view); //compilation failure
  }
}

Here is the compilation error output when uncommenting the result_drop_view copy.

@denommenator it looks like a library problem or maybe restriction. Would you mind creating an issue for this? You can use this link https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneDPL/issues/new?created_from_discussion_number=1786.
