iter_move(std::move_iterator)

friend constexpr std::iter_rvalue_reference_t<Iter>
    iter_move( const std::move_iterator& i ) noexcept(/* see below */);
(since C++20)

Casts the result of dereferencing the underlying iterator to its associated rvalue reference type.

The function body is equivalent to: return std::ranges::iter_move(i.base());.

This function template is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when std::move_iterator<Iter> is an associated class of the arguments.

Parameters

i - a source move iterator.

Return value

An rvalue reference or a prvalue temporary.

Complexity

Constant.

Exceptions

noexcept specification:
noexcept(noexcept(ranges::iter_move(i.base())))

Example

#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
 
void print(auto const& rem, auto const& v) {
    std::cout << rem << "[" << size(v) << "] { ";
    for (int o{}; auto const& s : v)
        std::cout << (o++ == 0 ? "" : ", ") << quoted(s);
    std::cout << " }\n";
}
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> p { "Andromeda", "Cassiopeia", "Phoenix" }, q;
 
    print("p", p), print("q", q);
 
    using MI = std::move_iterator<std::vector<std::string>::iterator>;
 
    for (MI first{ p.begin() }, last{ p.end() }; first != last; ++first) {
        q.emplace_back( /* ADL */ iter_move(first) );
    }
 
    print("p", p), print("q", q);
}

Possible output:

p[3] { "Andromeda", "Cassiopeia", "Phoenix" }
q[0] {  }
p[3] { "", "", "" }
q[3] { "Andromeda", "Cassiopeia", "Phoenix" }
