std::ranges::move, std::ranges::move_result - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

Defined in header
Call signature
template< std::input_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S, std::weakly_incrementable O > requires std::indirectly_movable<I, O> constexpr move_result<I, O> move( I first, S last, O result ); (1) (since C++20)
template< ranges::input_range R, std::weakly_incrementable O > requires std::indirectly_movable<ranges::iterator_t<R>, O> constexpr move_result<ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>, O> move( R&& r, O result ); (2) (since C++20)
Helper types
template< class I, class O > using move_result = ranges::in_out_result<I, O>; (3) (since C++20)
  1. Moves the elements in the range, defined by [first, last), to another range beginning at result. The behavior is undefined if result is within the range [first, last). In such a case, ranges::move_backward may be used instead.

  2. Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first, and ranges::end(r) as last.

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.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the range of elements to move
r - the range of the elements to move
result - the beginning of the destination range

[edit] Return value

{last, result + N}, where

[edit] Complexity

Exactly N move assignments.

[edit] Notes

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

[edit] Possible implementation

struct move_fn { template<std::input_iterator I, std::sentinel_for S, std::weakly_incrementable O> requires std::indirectly_movable<I, O> constexpr ranges::move_result<I, O> operator()(I first, S last, O result) const { for (; first != last; ++first, ++result) *result = ranges::iter_move(first); return {std::move(first), std::move(result)}; } template<ranges::input_range R, std::weakly_incrementable O> requires std::indirectly_movable<ranges::iterator_t, O> constexpr ranges::move_result<ranges::borrowed_iterator_t, O> operator()(R&& r, O result) const { return (*this)(ranges::begin(r), ranges::end(r), std::move(result)); } };   inline constexpr move_fn move {};

[edit] Example

The following code moves thread objects (which themselves are non copyable) from one container to another.

Output:

thread with n=400ms ended thread with n=600ms ended thread with n=800ms ended
