copy

Synopsis

template<
      typename Sequence
    , typename In = unspecified
    >
struct copy
{
    typedef unspecified type;
};

Description

Returns a copy of the original sequence.

[Note: This wording applies to a no-inserter version(s) of the algorithm. See the Expression semantics subsection for a precise specification of the algorithm's details in all cases — end note]

Header

#include <boost/mpl/copy.hpp>

Model of

Reversible Algorithm

Parameters

Parameter	Requirement	Description
`Sequence`	Forward Sequence	A sequence to copy.
`In`	Inserter	An inserter.

Expression semantics

The semantics of an expression are defined only where they differ from, or are not defined in Reversible Algorithm.

For any Forward Sequence s, and an Inserter in:

typedef copy<s,in>::type r;

Return type:

Return type:	A type.
Semantics:	Equivalent to typedef fold< s,in::state,in::operation >::type r;

A type.

Semantics:

Equivalent to

typedef fold< s,in::state,in::operation >::type r;

Complexity

Linear. Exactly size<s>::value applications of in::operation.

Example

typedef vector_c<int,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9> numbers;
typedef copy<
      range_c<int,10,20>
    , back_inserter< numbers >
    >::type result;

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT_RELATION( size<result>::value, ==, 20 );
BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( equal< result,range_c<int,0,20> > ));
