std::move - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

1. Moves the elements in the range [first, last), to another range beginning at d_first, starting from first and proceeding to last. After this operation the elements in the moved-from range will still contain valid values of the appropriate type, but not necessarily the same values as before the move.

2. Same as (1), but executed according to policy.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:

If d_first is within the range [first, last), the behavior is undefined. In this case, std::move_backward may be used instead.

[edit] Parameters

[edit] Return value

The iterator to the element past the last element moved.

[edit] Complexity

Exactly std::distance(first, last) move assignments.

[edit] Exceptions

The overload with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy reports errors as follows:

• If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
• If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

[edit] Possible implementation

template<class InputIt, class OutputIt> OutputIt move(InputIt first, InputIt last, OutputIt d_first) { for (; first != last; ++d_first, ++first) *d_first = std::move(*first);   return d_first; }

[edit] Notes

When moving overlapping ranges, std::move is appropriate when moving to the left (beginning of the destination range is outside the source range) while std::move_backward is appropriate when moving to the right (end of the destination range is outside the source range).

[edit] Example

The following code moves thread objects (which themselves are not copyable) from one container to another.

Output:

thread 1 ended thread 2 ended thread 3 ended
