Defined in header <algorithm>
(1)
template< class ForwardIt, class OutputIt >

OutputIt rotate_copy( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt n_first,

                      ForwardIt last, OutputIt d_first );
(until C++20)
template< class ForwardIt, class OutputIt >

constexpr OutputIt rotate_copy( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt n_first,

                                ForwardIt last, OutputIt d_first );
(since C++20)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt1, class ForwardIt2 >

ForwardIt2 rotate_copy( ExecutionPolicy&& policy,
                        ForwardIt1 first, ForwardIt1 n_first,

                        ForwardIt1 last, ForwardIt2 d_first );
(2) (since C++17)
1) Copies the elements from the range [firstlast), to another range beginning at d_first in such a way, that the element *(n_first) becomes the first element of the new range and *(n_first - 1) becomes the last element.
The behavior is undefined if either [firstn_first) or [n_firstlast) is not a valid range, or the source and destination ranges overlap.
2) Same as (1), but executed according to policy. This overload participates in overload resolution only if

std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true.

(until C++20)

std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true.

(since C++20)

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to copy
n_first - an iterator to an element in [firstlast) that should appear at the beginning of the new range
d_first - beginning of the destination range
policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details.
Type requirements
-
ForwardIt, ForwardIt1, ForwardIt2 must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
-
OutputIt must meet the requirements of LegacyOutputIterator.

[edit] Return value

Output iterator to the element past the last element copied.

[edit] Complexity

linear in the distance between first and last.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Possible implementation

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

template<class ForwardIt, class OutputIt>
constexpr // since C++20
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);
}

[edit] 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::find(src.begin(), src.end(), 3);
 
    std::rotate_copy(src.begin(), pivot, src.end(), dest.begin());
    for (int 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';
}

Output:

3 4 5 1 2
1 2 3 4 5
