std::move_iterator::operator[] - cppreference.com (original) (raw)

| /* unspecified */ operator[]( difference_type n ) const; | | (constexpr since C++17) (until C++20) | | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | ------------------------------------- | | constexpr reference operator[]( difference_type n ) const; | | (since C++20) |

Returns a reference to the element at specified relative location.

[edit] Parameters

n - position relative to current location

[edit] Return value

std::move(_[current](../move%5Fiterator.html#current "cpp/iterator/move iterator")_ [n])(until C++20)ranges::iter_move(_[current](../move%5Fiterator.html#current "cpp/iterator/move iterator")_ + n)(since C++20)

[edit] Notes

The return type is unspecified because the return type of the underlying iterator's operator[] is also unspecified (see LegacyRandomAccessIterator). (until C++20)

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include #include #include #include   void print(auto rem, const auto& v) { for (std::cout << rem; const auto& e : v) std::cout << std::quoted(e) << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; }   int main() { std::vector<std::string> p{"alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta"}, q; print("1) p: ", p);   std::move_iterator it{p.begin()};   for (std::size_t t{}; t != p.size(); ++t) q.emplace_back(it[t]);   print("2) p: ", p); print("3) q: ", q);   std::list l{1, 2, 3}; std::move_iterator it2{l.begin()}; // it2[1] = 13; // Compilation error: the underlying iterator // does not model the random access iterator // *it2 = 999; // Compilation error: using rvalue as lvalue }

Possible output:

  1. p: "alpha" "beta" "gamma" "delta"
  2. p: "" "" "" ""
  3. q: "alpha" "beta" "gamma" "delta"
