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:
range
of the elements to initialize [edit] Return value
As described above.
[edit] ComplexityLinear in the distance between first and last.
[edit] ExceptionsAny exception thrown on construction of the elements in the destination range.
[edit] NotesAn implementation may skip the objects construction (without changing the observable effect) if no non-trivial default constructor is called while default-initializing a std::iter_value_t<I> object, which can be detected by std::is_trivially_default_constructible.
[edit] Possible implementation [edit] Example#include <cstring> #include <iostream> #include <memory> #include <string> int main() { struct S { std::string m{"ââââââââ"}; }; constexpr int n{4}; alignas(alignof(S)) char out[n * sizeof(S)]; try { auto first{reinterpret_cast<S*>(out)}; auto last{first + n}; std::ranges::uninitialized_default_construct(first, last); auto count{1}; for (auto it{first}; it != last; ++it) std::cout << count++ << ' ' << it->m << '\n'; std::ranges::destroy(first, last); } catch (...) { std::cout << "Exception!\n"; } // Notice that for "trivial types" the uninitialized_default_construct // generally does not zero-fill the given uninitialized memory area. constexpr char sample[]{'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', '\n'}; char v[]{'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', '\n'}; std::ranges::uninitialized_default_construct(std::begin(v), std::end(v)); if (std::memcmp(v, sample, sizeof(v)) == 0) { std::cout << " "; // Maybe undefined behavior, pending CWG 1997 to be resolved: // for (const char c : v) { std::cout << c << ' '; } for (const char c : sample) std::cout << c << ' '; } else std::cout << "Unspecified\n"; }
