std::uninit...construct_n(3)  C++ Standard Libary std::uninit...construct_n(3)

NAME
       std::uninitialized_value_construct_n   -	 std::uninitialized_value_con-
       struct_n

Synopsis
	  Defined in header <memory>
	  template< class ForwardIt, class Size	>
	  ForwardIt uninitialized_value_construct_n( ForwardIt first,  Size  n
       (1) (since C++17)
	  );
	  template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt, class Size >
	  ForwardIt	uninitialized_value_construct_n(     ExecutionPolicy&&
       (2) (since C++17)
	  policy, ForwardIt first, Size	n );

	  1)  Constructs  n  objects  of  type	typename  iterator_traits<For-
       wardIt>::value_type in
	  the uninitialized storage starting at	first by value-initialization,
       as if by

	for (; n > 0; (void) ++first, --n)
	  ::new	(/*VOIDIFY*/(*first))
	      typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type();

	  where	/*VOIDIFY*/(e) is:

	     static_cast<void*>(std::addressof(e))
       (until C++20)
	     const_cast<void*>(static_cast<const		      volatile
       (since C++20)
	     void*>(std::addressof(e)))

	  If an	exception is thrown during the initialization, the objects al-
       ready constructed
	  are destroyed	in an unspecified order.
	  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>>
	  (until C++20)
	  std::is_execution_policy_v<std::remove_cvref_t<ExecutionPolicy>>
	  (since C++20)	is true.

Parameters
	  first		    -	       the beginning of	the range of  elements
       to initialize
	  n		    -	       the number of elements to initialize
	  policy	    -	       the execution policy to use. See	execu-
       tion policy for
				       details.

Type requirements
	  -
	  ForwardIt must meet the requirements of LegacyForwardIterator.
	  -
	  No  increment,  assignment, comparison, or indirection through valid
       instances of
	  ForwardIt may	throw exceptions.

Return value
	  The end of the range of objects (i.e., std::next(first, n)).

Complexity
	  Linear in n.

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	standard policies, std::termi-
       nate 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, class Size>
	  ForwardIt uninitialized_value_construct_n( ForwardIt first, Size n )
	  {
	      using T =	typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type;
	      ForwardIt	current	= first;
	      try {
		  for (; n > 0 ; (void)	++current, --n)	{
		      ::new    (const_cast<void*>(static_cast<const   volatile
       void*>(
			  std::addressof(*current)))) T();
		  }
		  return current;
	      }	 catch (...) {
		  std::destroy(first, current);
		  throw;
	      }
	  }

Example
       // Run this code

	#include <iostream>
	#include <memory>
	#include <string>

	int main()
	{
	    struct S { std::string m{ "Default value" }; };

	    constexpr int n {3};
	    alignas(alignof(S))	unsigned char mem[n * sizeof(S)];

	    try
	    {
		auto first {reinterpret_cast<S*>(mem)};
		auto last = std::uninitialized_value_construct_n(first,	n);

		for (auto it {first}; it != last; ++it)	{
		    std::cout << it->m << '\n';
		}

		std::destroy(first, last);
	    }
	    catch(...)
	    {
		std::cout << "Exception!\n";
	    }

	    // Notice that for "trivial	 types"	 the  uninitialized_value_con-
       struct_n
	    // zero-initializes	the given uninitialized	memory area.
	    int	v[] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
	    for	(const int i : v) { std::cout << i << '	'; }
	    std::cout << '\n';
	    std::uninitialized_value_construct_n(std::begin(v),	std::size(v));
	    for	(const int i : v) { std::cout << i << '	'; }
	    std::cout << '\n';
	}

Output:
	Default	value
	Default	value
	Default	value
	1 2 3 4
	0 0 0 0
