std::construct_at
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <memory>
|
||
| template< class T, class... Args > constexpr T* construct_at( T* p, Args&&... args ); |
(since 哋它亢++20) | |
Creates a T object initialized with arguments args... at given address p. Specialization of this function template participates in overload resolution only if ::new(std::declval<void*>()) T(std::declval<Args>()...) is well-formed in an unevaluated context.
Equivalent to
return ::new (static_cast<void*>(p)) T(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
except that construct_at may be used in evaluation of constant expressions.
When construct_at is called in the evaluation of some constant expression e, the argument p must point to either storage obtained by std::allocator<T>::allocate or an object whose lifetime began within the evaluation of e.
Parameters
| p | - | pointer to the uninitialized storage on which a T object will be constructed
|
| args... | - | arguments used for initialization |
Return value
p
Example
Run this code
#include <bit> #include <memory> class S { int x_; float y_; double z_; public: constexpr S(int x, float y, double z) : x_{x}, y_{y}, z_{z} {} [[nodiscard("no side-effects!")]] constexpr bool operator==(const S&) const noexcept = default; }; consteval bool test() { alignas(S) unsigned char storage[sizeof(S)]{}; S uninitialized = std::bit_cast<S>(storage); std::destroy_at(&uninitialized); S* ptr = std::construct_at(std::addressof(uninitialized), 42, 2.71f, 3.14); const bool res{*ptr == S{42, 2.71f, 3.14}}; std::destroy_at(ptr); return res; } static_assert(test()); int main() {}
