std::ranges::rotate_copy, std::ranges::rotate_copy_result

Defined in header <algorithm>
Call signature
template< std::forward_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S, std::weakly_incrementable O >
requires  std::indirectly_copyable<I, O>
constexpr rotate_copy_result<I, O>
          rotate_copy( I first, I middle, S last, O result );
(1) (since C++20)
template< ranges::forward_range R, std::weakly_incrementable O >
requires  std::indirectly_copyable<ranges::iterator_t<R>, O>
constexpr rotate_copy_result<ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>, O>
          rotate_copy( R&& r, ranges::iterator_t<R> middle, O result );
(2) (since C++20)
Helper types
template< class I, class O >
  using rotate_copy_result = in_out_result<I, O>;
(3) (since C++20)
1) Copies the elements from the source range [first, last), to the destination range beginning at result in such a way, that the element *middle becomes the first element of the destination range and *(middle - 1) becomes the last element. The result is that the destination range contains a left rotated copy of the source range.
The behavior is undefined if either [first, middle) or [middle, last) is not a valid range, or the source and destination ranges overlap.
2) Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:

In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler extensions.

Parameters

first, last - the source range of elements to copy from
r - the source range of elements to copy from
middle - the iterator to the element that should appear at the beginning of the destination range
result - beginning of the destination range

Return value

{last, result + N}, where N = ranges::distance(first, last).

Complexity

Linear: exactly N assignments.

Notes

If the value type is TriviallyCopyable and the iterator types satisfy contiguous_iterator, implementations of ranges::rotate_copy usually avoid multiple assignments by using a "bulk copy" function such as std::memmove.

Possible implementation

See also the implementations in libstdc++ and MSVC STL.

struct rotate_copy_fn {
  template<std::forward_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S, std::weakly_incrementable O>
    requires std::indirectly_copyable<I, O>
    constexpr ranges::rotate_copy_result<I, O>
      operator() ( I first, I middle, S last, O result ) const {
          auto c1{ ranges::copy(middle, std::move(last), std::move(result)) };
          auto c2{ ranges::copy(std::move(first), std::move(middle), std::move(c1.out)) };
          return { std::move(c1.in), std::move(c2.out) };
      }
 
  template<ranges::forward_range R, std::weakly_incrementable O>
    requires std::indirectly_copyable<ranges::iterator_t<R>, O>
    constexpr ranges::rotate_copy_result<ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>, O>
      operator() ( R&& r, ranges::iterator_t<R> middle, O result ) const {
          return (*this)(ranges::begin(r), std::move(middle),
                         ranges::end(r), std::move(result));
      }
};
 
inline constexpr rotate_copy_fn rotate_copy{};

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> src {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    std::vector<int> dest(src.size());
    auto pivot = std::ranges::find(src, 3);
 
    std::ranges::rotate_copy(src, pivot, dest.begin());
    for (int i : dest) { std::cout << i << ' '; }
    std::cout << '\n';
 
    // copy the rotation result directly to the std::cout
    pivot = std::ranges::find(dest, 1);
    std::ranges::rotate_copy(dest, pivot, std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " "));
    std::cout << '\n';
}

Output:

3 4 5 1 2
1 2 3 4 5
