Your arguments to the constructor of ReduceScatterHalvingDoubling don't make much sense like this.

Something like the following should work:

  gloo::ReduceScatterHalvingDoubling<int> rs_hd(
          context,
          std::vector<int*>{buffer_data},  // <- vector holding just one pointer
          num_elements,
          recvcountsbuff
          );
  rs_hd.run();

Afterwards buffer_data will hold the scattered reduced data.
