Parameters

Return value

Output iterator to the element past the last element copied.

Complexity

linear in the distance between first and last.

Exceptions

The overload with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy reports errors as follows:

• If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and ExecutionPolicy is one of the standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any other ExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined.
• If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.

Possible implementation

See also the implementations in libstdc++ and libc++.

template<class ForwardIt, class OutputIt>
OutputIt rotate_copy(ForwardIt first, ForwardIt n_first,
                           ForwardIt last, OutputIt d_first)
{
    d_first = std::copy(n_first, last, d_first);
    return std::copy(first, n_first, d_first);
}

Example

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