<h3>Prototype</h3>
<pre>
template <class ForwardIterator, class Size, class T>
ForwardIterator uninitialized_fill_n(ForwardIterator first, Size n,
const T& x);
</pre>
<h3>Description</h3>
In C++, the operator <tt>new</tt> allocates memory for an object and then
creates an object at that location by calling a constructor. Occasionally,
however, it is useful to separate those two operations. <A href="#1">[1]</A> If each iterator
in the range <tt>[first, first + n)</tt> points to uninitialized
memory, then <tt>uninitialized_fill_n</tt> creates copies of <tt>x</tt>
in that range. That is, for each iterator <tt>i</tt> in the range <tt>[first,
first + n)</tt>, <tt>uninitialized_fill_n</tt> creates a copy of <tt>x</tt> in
the location pointed to <tt>i</tt> by calling <tt><A href="construct.html">construct</A>(&*i, x)</tt>.
<h3>Definition</h3>
Defined in the standard header <A href="memory">memory</A>, and in the nonstandard
backward-compatibility header <A href="algo.h">algo.h</A>.
<h3>Requirements on types</h3>
<UL>
<LI>
<tt>ForwardIterator</tt> is a model of <A href="ForwardIterator.html">Forward Iterator</A>.
<LI>
<tt>ForwardIterator</tt> is mutable.
<LI>
<tt>Size</tt> is an integral type that is convertible to <tt>ForwardIterator</tt>'s
distance type.
<LI>
<tt>ForwardIterator</tt>'s value type has a constructor that takes a
single argument of type <tt>T</tt>.
</UL>
<h3>Preconditions</h3>
<UL>
<LI>
<tt>n</tt> is nonnegative.
<LI>
<tt>[first, first + n)</tt> is a valid range.
<LI>
Each iterator in <tt>[first, first + n)</tt> points to
a region of uninitialized memory that is large enough to store
a value of <tt>ForwardIterator</tt>'s value type.
</UL>
<h3>Complexity</h3>
Linear. Exactly <tt>n</tt> constructor calls.
<h3>Example</h3>
<pre>
class Int {
public:
Int(int x) : val(x) {}
int get() { return val; }
private:
int val;
};
int main()
{
const int N = 137;
Int val(46);
Int* A = (Int*) malloc(N * sizeof(Int));
uninitialized_fill_n(A, N, val);
}
</pre>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<P><A name="1">[1]</A>
In particular, this sort of low-level memory management is used
in the implementation of some container classes.
