(constexpr since C++26)template<classExecutionPolicy,classNoThrowForwardIt,classSize>NoThrowForwardItuninitialized_value_construct_n(ExecutionPolicy&&policy,NoThrowForwardItfirst,Sizecount); (2) (since C++17)1) Constructs elements in the destination range first + [0, count) by

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 participates in overload resolution only if the value of the following expression is true:
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)Parameters
first - the beginning of the range of elements to initialize count - the number of elements to initialize policy - the
to use Type requirements -NoThrowForwardIt must meet the requirements of
. -No increment, assignment, comparison, or indirection through valid instances of NoThrowForwardIt may throw exceptions. Return value
As described above.
Exceptions
2) During the execution process:
If the temporary memory resources required for parallelization are not available,
is thrown.
If an uncaught exception is thrown while accessing objects via an algorithm argument, the behavior is determined by the execution policy (for
