C++ named requirements: CopyInsertable (since C++11)
From cppreference.com
Specifies that an object of the type can be copy-constructed in-place by a given allocator.
[edit] Requirements
Given the following types, values and expressions:
Type | Definition |
T
|
an object type |
A
|
an allocator type |
X
|
a container type satisfying all following conditions:
|
Value | Definition |
m | an lvalue of type A
|
p | a pointer of type T*
|
Expression | Definition |
v | an expression denoting an lvalue of type T / const T, or an rvalue of type const T
|
expr | std::allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p, v) |
T
is CopyInsertable into X
if all following conditions are satisfied:
-
T
is MoveInsertable intoX
. - expr is well-formed.
- Evaluating expr does not change the value of v.
- Right after the evaluation of expr, the value of v is equivalent to *p.
[edit] Notes
If A
is std::allocator<T>, then this will call placement new, as by ::new((void*)p) T(v)(until C++20)std::construct_at(p, v)(since C++20).
Although it is required that customized construct
is used when constructing elements of std::basic_string until C++23, all implementations only used the default mechanism. The requirement is corrected by P1072R10 to match existing practice.
[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 2177 | C++11 | evaluting expr did not have any postcondition | added |
LWG 3957 | C++11 | v could denote an rvalue of type T
|
excluded |
