friend constexpr std::iter_rvalue_reference_t<I> iter_move( const std::counted_iterator& i ) noexcept(noexcept(ranges::iter_move(i.base()))) requires std::input_iterator<I>; |  | (since C++20)

Casts the result of dereferencing the underlying iterator to its associated rvalue reference type. The behavior is undefined if i.count() is equal to ​0​.

The function body is equivalent to return ranges::iter_move(i.base());.

This function is not visible to ordinary unqualified or qualified lookup, and can only be found by argument-dependent lookup when `std::counted_iterator<I>` is an associated class of the arguments.

### Parameters

i | - | a source iterator adaptor

### Return value

An rvalue reference or a prvalue temporary.

### Complexity

Constant.

### Example

Run this code

    #include <iomanip>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <iterator>
    #include <string>
    #include <vector>

    void print(auto const& rem, auto const& v) {
        for (std::cout << rem << "[" << size(v) << "] { "; auto const& s : v)
            std::cout << quoted(s) << " ";
        std::cout << "}\n";
    }

    int main()
    {
        std::vector<std::string> p { "Alpha", "Bravo", "Charlie" }, q;

        print("p", p), print("q", q);

        using RI = std::counted_iterator<std::vector<std::string>::iterator>;

        for (RI iter{ p.begin(), 2 }; iter != std::default_sentinel; ++iter) {
            q.emplace_back( /* ADL */ iter_move(iter) );
        }

        print("p", p), print("q", q);
    }

Possible output:

    p[3] { "Alpha" "Bravo" "Charlie" }
    q[0] { }
    p[3] { "" "" "Charlie" }
    q[2] { "Alpha" "Bravo" }
