constexpr /* unspecified */ operator[]( difference_type n ) const; | (since C++17) |
Returns a reference to the element at specified relative location.
n | - | position relative to current location |
An rvalue reference to the element at relative location, that is, std::move(base()[n])
(until C++20)ranges::iter_move(base() + n)
(since C++20).
The return type is unspecified because the return type of the underlying iterator's operator[] is also unspecified (see LegacyRandomAccessIterator).
#include <iomanip> #include <iostream> #include <iterator> #include <list> #include <string> #include <vector> void print(auto rem, auto const& v) { for (std::cout << rem; auto const& e : v) std::cout << 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 (size_t t{0U}; 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"
