std::ranges:: uninitialized_move, std::ranges:: uninitialized_move_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

Linear in \(\scriptsize N\) N .

Exceptions

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

Notes

An implementation may improve the efficiency of the ranges::uninitialized_move , e.g. by using ranges::copy_n , if the value type of the output range is TrivialType .

Possible implementation

#include <cstdlib>

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
void print(auto rem, auto first, auto last)
{
    for (std::cout << rem; first != last; ++first)
        std::cout << std::quoted(*first) << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';

            print("after move, in: ", std::begin(in), std::end(in));

        catch (...)
        {
            std::cout << "Exception!\n";

}

initially, in: "Home" "World"
after move, in: "" ""
after move, out: "Home" "World"
