Defined in header <algorithm>
Call signature
template< std::bidirectional_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S,

          std::weakly_incrementable O >
requires std::indirectly_copyable<I, O>
constexpr reverse_copy_result<I, O>

    reverse_copy( I first, S last, O result );
(1) (since C++20)
template< ranges::bidirectional_range R, std::weakly_incrementable O >

requires std::indirectly_copyable<ranges::iterator_t<R>, O>
constexpr reverse_copy_result<ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>, O>

    reverse_copy( R&& r, O result );
(2) (since C++20)
Helper types
template< class I, class O >
using reverse_copy_result = ranges::in_out_result<I, O>;
(3) (since C++20)
1) Copies the elements from the source range [firstlast) to the destination range [resultresult + N), where N is ranges::distance(first, last), in such a way that the elements in the new range are in reverse order. Behaves as if by executing the assignment *(result + N - 1 - i) = *(first + i) once for each integer i in [0N). The behavior is undefined if the source and destination ranges overlap.
2) Same as (1), but uses r as the source range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first and ranges::end(r) as last.

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.

Parameters

first, last - the range of elements to copy
r - the range of elements to copy
result - the beginning of the destination range.

Return value

{last, result + N}.

Complexity

Exactly N assignments.

Notes

Implementations (e.g. MSVC STL) may enable vectorization when the both iterator types model contiguous_iterator and have the same value type, and the value type is TriviallyCopyable.

Possible implementation

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

struct reverse_copy_fn

    template<std::bidirectional_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S,
             std::weakly_incrementable O>
    requires std::indirectly_copyable<I, O>
    constexpr ranges::reverse_copy_result<I, O>
        operator()(I first, S last, O result) const

        for (; last != first; *result = *--last, ++result);
        return {std::move(ret), std::move(result)};
    }
 
    template<ranges::bidirectional_range R, std::weakly_incrementable O>
    requires std::indirectly_copyable<ranges::iterator_t<R>, O>
    constexpr ranges::reverse_copy_result<ranges::borrowed_iterator_t<R>, O>
        operator()(R&& r, O result) const

        return (*this)(ranges::begin(r), ranges::end(r), std::move(result));
    }
};
 
inline constexpr reverse_copy_fn reverse_copy {};

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main()
{
    std::string x {"12345"}, y(x.size(), ' ');
    std::cout << x << " → ";
    std::ranges::reverse_copy(x.begin(), x.end(), y.begin());
    std::cout << y << " → ";
    std::ranges::reverse_copy(y, x.begin());
    std::cout << x << '\n';
}

Output:

12345 → 54321 → 12345
