std::uninitialized_value_construct

Defined in header <memory>
template< class ForwardIt >
void uninitialized_value_construct( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last);
(1) (since C++17)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt >
void uninitialized_value_construct( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last );
(2) (since C++17)
1) Constructs objects of type typename iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type in the uninitialized storage designated by the range [first, last) by value-initialization, as if by
for (; first != last; ++first)
  ::new (static_cast<void*>(std::addressof(*first)))
      typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type();
If an exception is thrown during the initialization, the function has no effects.
2) Same as (1), but executed according to policy. This overload does not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true

Parameters

first, last - the range of the elements to initialize
policy - the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details.
Type requirements
-ForwardIt must meet the requirements of ForwardIterator.
-No increment, assignment, comparison, or indirection through valid instances of ForwardIt may throw exceptions.

Return value

(none).

Complexity

Linear in the distance between first and last.

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 three 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.

Possible implementation

template<class ForwardIt>
void uninitialized_value_construct(ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last)
{
    typedef typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type Value;
    ForwardIt current = first;
    try {
        for (; current != last; ++current) {
            ::new (static_cast<void*>(std::addressof(*current))) Value();
        }
    }  catch (...) {
        for (; first != current; ++first) {
            first->~Value();
        }
        throw;
    }
}
