1) Constructs elements in the destination range [first, last) with the given value value as if by

for(;first!=last;++first)
::new(

voidify

(*first))std::remove_reference_t<std::iter_reference_t<I>>(value);
returnfirst;

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

2) Same as (1), but uses r as the destination range.

3,4) Same as (1,2), but executed according to policy.

The function-like entities described on this page are

algorithm function objects

(informally known as niebloids), that is:

Explicit template argument lists cannot be specified when calling any of them.

None of them are visible to

argument-dependent lookup

.

When any of them are found by

normal unqualified lookup

as the name to the left of the function-call operator,

argument-dependent lookup

is inhibited.

Parameters

first, last - the iterator-sentinel pair defining the

range

of elements to initialize r - the

range

of the elements to initialize value - the value to construct the elements with policy - the

execution policy

to use Return value

As described above.

Exceptions

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

3,4) During the execution process:

If the temporary memory resources required for parallelization are not available,

std::bad_alloc

is thrown.

If an uncaught exception is thrown while accessing objects via an algorithm argument, the behavior is determined by the execution policy (for

standard policies

,

std::terminate

is invoked).

Notes

An implementation may improve the efficiency of the ranges::uninitialized_fill (by using e.g.

ranges::fill

) if the value type of the output range is

TrivialType

.
