The standard library offers several copy-based algorithms. Some of them, like
std::copy
or std::uninitialized_copy
are basic building blocks for containers and other data structures. This library
offers move-based functions for those purposes:
template<typename I, typename O> O move(I, I, O); template<typename I, typename O> O move_backward(I, I, O); template<typename I, typename F> F uninitialized_move(I, I, F); template<typename I, typename F> F uninitialized_copy_or_move(I, I, F);
The first 3 are move variations of their equivalent copy algorithms, but copy
assignment and copy construction are replaced with move assignment and construction.
The last one has the same behaviour as std::uninitialized_copy
but since several standand library implementations don't play very well with
move_iterator
s, this version
is a portable version for those willing to use move iterators.
