(2) (since C++20)
Helper types

using uninitialized_move_result = ranges::in_out_result<I, O>;
(3) (since C++20)
1) Moves N elements from the input range [ifirstilast) to the output range [ofirstolast) (that is an uninitialized memory area), where N is min(ranges::distance(ifirst, ilast), ranges::distance(ofirst, olast)).
The effect is equivalent to:
for (; ifirst != ilast && ofirst != olast; ++ofirst, ++ifirst)
    ::new (static_cast<void*>(std::addressof(*first)))
        std::remove_reference_t<std::iter_reference_t<O>>(ranges::iter_move(ifirst));
If an exception is thrown during the initialization then the objects that already constructed in [ofirstolast) are destroyed in an unspecified order. Also, the objects in [ifirstilast) that were already moved, are left in a valid but unspecified state.
2) Same as (1), but uses in_range as the first range and out_range as the second range, as if using ranges::begin(in_range) as ifirst, ranges::end(in_range) as ilast, ranges::begin(out_range) as ofirst, and ranges::end(out_range) as olast.

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.

Contents

Parameters

ifirst, ilast - iterator-sentinel pair denoting the input range of elements to move from
in_range - the input range of elements to move from
ofirst, olast - iterator-sentinel pair denoting the output range to initialize
out_range - the output range to initialize

Return value

{ifirst + N, ofirst + N}.

Complexity

Linear in N.

Exceptions

The exception thrown on construction of the elements in the destination range, if any.

Notes

An implementation may improve the efficiency of the ranges::uninitialized_move, e.g. by using ranges::copy_n, if the value type of the output range is TrivialType.

Possible implementation

Example

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
 
void print(auto rem, auto first, auto last)
{
    for (std::cout << rem; first != last; ++first)
        std::cout << std::quoted(*first) << ' ';
    std::cout << '\n';
}
 
int main()
{
    std::string in[]{"Home", "World"};
    print("initially, in: ", std::begin(in), std::end(in));
 
    if (
        constexpr auto sz = std::size(in);
        void* out = std::aligned_alloc(alignof(std::string), sizeof(std::string) * sz)
    )
    {
        try
        {
            auto first{static_cast<std::string*>(out)};
            auto last{first + sz};
            std::ranges::uninitialized_move(std::begin(in), std::end(in), first, last);
 
            print("after move, in: ", std::begin(in), std::end(in));
            print("after move, out: ", first, last);
 
            std::ranges::destroy(first, last);
        }
        catch (...)
        {
            std::cout << "Exception!\n";
        }
        std::free(out);
    }
}

Possible output:

initially, in: "Home" "World"
after move, in: "" ""
after move, out: "Home" "World"
