C++ named requirements
 

Specifies that an object of the type can be copy-constructed in-place by a given allocator.

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:
  • X::value_type is the same as T.
  • X::allocator_type is the same as std::allocator_traits<A>::rebind_alloc<T>.
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 into X.
  • 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.

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.

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
