# iter_move(std::move_iterator)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | iterator‎ | move iterator

friend constexpr std::iter_rvalue_reference_t<Iter> iter_move( const std::move_iterator& i ) noexcept(/* see below */); |  | (since C++20)

Casts the result of dereferencing the underlying iterator to its associated rvalue reference type.

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

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

### Parameters

i | - | a source move iterator.

### Return value

An rvalue reference or a prvalue temporary.

### Complexity

Constant.

### Exceptions

`noexcept` specification:
noexcept(noexcept(ranges::iter_move(i.base())))

### Example

Run this code

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

    void print(auto const& rem, auto const& v) {
        std::cout << rem << "[" << size(v) << "] { ";
        for (int o{}; auto const& s : v)
            std::cout << (o++ == 0 ? "" : ", ") << quoted(s);
        std::cout << " }\n";
    }

    int main()
    {
        std::vector<std::string> p { "Andromeda", "Cassiopeia", "Phoenix" }, q;

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

        using MI = std::move_iterator<std::vector<std::string>::iterator>;

        for (MI first{ p.begin() }, last{ p.end() }; first != last; ++first) {
            q.emplace_back( /* ADL */ iter_move(first) );
        }

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

Possible output:

    p[3] { "Andromeda", "Cassiopeia", "Phoenix" }
    q[0] {  }
    p[3] { "", "", "" }
    q[3] { "Andromeda", "Cassiopeia", "Phoenix" }
