Defined in header <memory>
(1)
template< class ForwardIt, class Size, class T >
void uninitialized_fill_n( ForwardIt first, Size count, const T& value );
 (until C++11)
template< class ForwardIt, class Size, class T >
ForwardIt uninitialized_fill_n( ForwardIt first, Size count, const T& value );
 (since C++11)
template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt, class Size, class T >
ForwardIt uninitialized_fill_n( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt first, Size count, const T& value );
 (2) (since C++17)
1) Copies the given value value to the first count elements in an uninitialized memory area beginning at first as if by 
for (; n--; ++first)
  ::new (static_cast<void*>(std::addressof(*first)))
     typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type(x);
If an exception is thrown during the initialization, the objects already 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>> is true

Contents

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
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

(none) (until C++11)

Iterator to the element past the last element copied.

(since C++11)

Complexity

Linear in count.

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::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, class Size, class T >
ForwardIt uninitialized_fill_n(ForwardIt first, Size count, const T& value)
{
    typedef typename std::iterator_traits<ForwardIt>::value_type Value;
    ForwardIt current = first;
    try {
        for (; count > 0; ++current, (void) --count) {
            ::new (static_cast<void*>(std::addressof(*current))) Value(value);
        }
        return current;
    } catch (...) {
        for (; first != current; ++first) {
            first->~Value();
        }
        throw;
    }
}

Example

Run this code
#include <algorithm>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include <tuple>
 
int main()
{
    std::string* p;
    std::size_t sz;
    std::tie(p, sz) = std::get_temporary_buffer<std::string>(4);
    std::uninitialized_fill_n(p, sz, "Example");
 
    for (std::string* i = p; i != p+sz; ++i) {
        std::cout << *i << '\n';
        i->~basic_string<char>();
    }
    std::return_temporary_buffer(p);
}
