  1. Assigns the given value to all elements in the range [first, last).

  2. Same as (1), but executed according to policy.

This overload participates in overload resolution only if all following conditions are satisfied:

If value is not writable to first, the program is ill-formed.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first, last - the pair of iterators defining the range of elements to modify
value - the value to be assigned
policy - the execution policy to use
Type requirements
-ForwardIt must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.

[edit] Complexity

Exactly std::distance(first, last) assignments.

[edit] Exceptions

The overload with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy reports errors as follows:

[edit] Possible implementation

fill (1)
template<class ForwardIt, class T = typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type> void fill(ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last, const T& value) { for (; first != last; ++first) *first = value; }

[edit] Example

#include #include #include #include   void println(const auto& seq) { for (const auto& e : seq) std::cout << e << ' '; std::cout << '\n'; }   int main() { std::vector v{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}; println(v);   // set all of the elements to 8 std::fill(v.begin(), v.end(), 8); println(v);   std::vector<std::complex> nums{{1, 3}, {2, 2}, {4, 8}}; println(nums); #ifdef __cpp_lib_algorithm_default_value_type std::fill(nums.begin(), nums.end(), {4, 2}); #else std::fill(nums.begin(), nums.end(), std::complex{4, 2}); #endif println(nums); }

Output:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 (1,3) (2,2) (4,8) (4,2) (4,2) (4,2)

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
LWG 283 C++98 T was required to be CopyAssignable, butT is not always writable to ForwardIt required to be writable instead
