Copies value to an uninitialized memory area first+ [​0​, count) as if byreturn ranges::uninitialized_fill(std::counted_iterator(first, count),
std::default_sentinel, value).base();

If an exception is thrown during the initialization, the objects already constructed are destroyed in an unspecified order.

The function-like entities described on this page are algorithm function objects (informally known as niebloids), that is:

Contents

[edit] Parameters

first - the beginning of the range of the elements to initialize
count - number of elements to construct
value - the value to construct the elements with

[edit] Return value

As described above.

[edit] Complexity

Linear in count.

[edit] Exceptions

Any exception thrown on construction of the elements in the destination range.

[edit] Notes

An implementation may improve the efficiency of the ranges::uninitialized_fill_n, e.g. by using ranges::fill_n, if the value type of the output range is TrivialType.

[edit] Example

#include #include #include   int main() { constexpr int n{3}; alignas(alignof(std::string)) char out[n * sizeof(std::string)];   try { auto first{reinterpret_cast<std::string*>(out)}; auto last = std::ranges::uninitialized_fill_n(first, n, "cppreference");   for (auto it{first}; it != last; ++it) std::cout << *it << '\n';   std::ranges::destroy(first, last); } catch (...) { std::cout << "Exception!\n"; } }

Output:
