std::ranges:: uninitialized_copy, std::ranges:: uninitialized_copy_result

Let \(\scriptsize N\) N be ranges:: min ( ranges:: distance ( ifirst, ilast ) , ranges:: distance ( ofirst, olast ) ) .

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

• Explicit template argument lists cannot be specified when calling any of them.
• None of them are visible to argument-dependent lookup .
• When any of them are found by normal unqualified lookup as the name to the left of the function-call operator, argument-dependent lookup is inhibited.

Parameters

Return value

As described above.

Complexity

\(\scriptsize\mathcal{O}(N)\) 𝓞(N) .

Exceptions

Any exception thrown on construction of the elements in the destination range.

Notes

An implementation may improve the efficiency of ranges::uninitialized_copy if the value type of the output range is TrivialType .

Possible implementation

struct uninitialized_copy_fn
{
    template<std::input_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S1,
             no-throw-forward-iterator O, no-throw-sentinel-for<O> S2>
        requires std::constructible_from<std::iter_value_t<O>, std::iter_reference_t<I>>
    constexpr ranges::uninitialized_copy_result<I, O>
        operator()(I ifirst, S1 ilast, O ofirst, S2 olast) const
    {
        O current{ofirst};
        try
        {
            for (; !(ifirst == ilast or current == olast); ++ifirst, ++current)
                ranges::construct_at(std::addressof(*current), *ifirst);
            return {std::move(ifirst), std::move(current)};
        }
        catch (...) // rollback: destroy constructed elements
        {

                ranges::destroy_at(std::addressof(*ofirst));
            throw;
        }
    }
    template<ranges::input_range IR, no-throw-forward-range OR>
        requires std::constructible_from<ranges::range_value_t<OR>,
    constexpr ranges::range_reference_t<IR>>

                                          ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<OR>>
    operator()(IR&& in_range, OR&& out_range) const
    {
        return (*this)(ranges::begin(in_range), ranges::end(in_range),
