20 General utilities library [lib.utilities]
______________________________________________________________________
1 This clause describes components used by other elements of the Stan-
dard C++ library. These components may also be used by C++ programs.
2 The following clauses describe utility and allocator requirements,
utility components, function objects, dynamic memory management utili-
ties, and date/time utilities, as summarized in Table 1:
Table 1--General utilities library summary
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Clause Header(s) |

|_lib.utility.requirements_ Requirements |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|_lib.utility_ Utility components <utility> |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
|_lib.function.objects_ Function objects <functional> |

|_lib.date.time_ Date and time <ctime> |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
20.1 Requirements [lib.utility.requirements]
1 _lib.utility.requirements_ describes requirements on template argu-
ments. _lib.equalitycomparable_ through _lib.copyconstructible_
describe requirements on types used to instantiate templates.
_lib.allocator.requirements_ describes the requirements on storage
allocators.
20.1.1 Equality comparison [lib.equalitycomparable]
1 In Table 2, T is a type to be supplied by a C++ program instantiating
a template, a, b and c are values of type T.
Table 2--EqualityComparable requirements
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|expression return type requirement |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|a == b convertible to bool == is an equiva- |
| lence relation, |
| that is, it sat- |
| isfies the fol- |
| lowing proper- |
| ties: |
| |
| --For all a, a == a. |
| |
| --If a == b, then b == a. |
| |
| --If a == b and b == c, then a == c. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
20.1.2 Less than comparison [lib.lessthancomparable]
1 In the following Table 3, T is a type to be supplied by a C++ program
instantiating a template, a and b are values of type T.
Table 3--LessThanComparable requirements
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|expression return type requirement |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|a < b convertible to bool < is a strict weak ordering relation (_lib.alg.sorting_) |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
20.1.3 Copy construction [lib.copyconstructible]
1 In the following Table 4, T is a type to be supplied by a C++ program
instantiating a template, t is a value of type T, and u is a value of
type const T.
Table 4--CopyConstructible requirements
+----------------------------------------------------+
|expression return type requirement |
+----------------------------------------------------+
|T(t) t is equivalent to T(t) |
+----------------------------------------------------+
|T(u) u is equivalent to T(u) |
+----------------------------------------------------+
|t.~T() |
+----------------------------------------------------+
|&t T* denotes the address of t |
+----------------------------------------------------+
|&u const T* denotes the address of u |
+----------------------------------------------------+
20.1.4 Default construction [lib.default.con.req]
1 The default constructor is not required. Certain container class mem-
ber function signatures specify the default constructor as a default
argument. T() must be a well-defined expression (_dcl.init_) if one
of those signatures is called using the default argument
(_dcl.fct.default_).
20.1.5 Allocator requirements [lib.allocator.requirements]
1 The library describes a standard set of requirements for allocators,
which are objects that encapsulate the information about an allocation
model. This information includes the knowledge of pointer types, the
type of their difference, the type of the size of objects in this
allocation model, as well as the memory allocation and deallocation
primitives for it. All of the containers (clause _lib.containers_)
are parameterized in terms of allocators.
2 Table 5 describes the requirements on types manipulated through allo-
cators. All the operations on the allocators are expected to be amor-
tized constant time. Table 6 describes the requirements on allocator
types.
Table 5--Descriptive variable definitions
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|Variable Definition |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|T, U any type |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|X an Allocator class for type T |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|Y the corresponding Allocator class for type U |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|t a value of type const T& |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|a, a1, a2 values of type X& |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|b a value of type Y |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|p a value of type X::pointer, obtained by calling |
| a1.allocate, where a1 == a. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|q a value of type X::const_pointer obtained by |
| conversion from a value p. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|r a value of type X::reference obtained by |
| the expression *p. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|s a value of type X::const_reference obtained by |
| the expression *q or by conversion from a value r. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|u a value of type Y::const_pointer obtained by |
| calling Y::allocate, or else 0. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
|n a value of type X::size_type. |

3 The template class member rebind in the table above is effectively a
template typedef: if the name Allocator is bound to SomeAllocator<T>,
then Allocator::rebind<U>::other is the same type as SomeAllocator<U>.
4 Implementations of containers described in this International Standard
are permitted to assume that their Allocator template parameter meets
the following two additional requirements beyond those in Table 6.
--All instances of a given allocator type are required to be inter-
changeable and always compare equal to each other.
--The typedef members pointer, const_pointer, size_type, and differ-
ence_type are required to be T*, T const*, size_t, and ptrdiff_t,
respectively.
5 Implementors are encouraged to supply libraries that can accept allo-
cators that encapsulate more general memory models and that support
non-equal instances. In such implementations, any requirements
imposed on allocators by containers beyond those requirements that
appear in Table 6, and the semantics of containers and algorithms when
allocator instances compare non-equal, are implementation-defined.
_________________________
1) It is intended that a.allocate be an efficient means of allocating
a single object of type T, even when sizeof(T) is small. That is,
there is no need for a container to maintain its own ``free list''.
20.2 Utility components [lib.utility]
1 This subclause contains some basic template functions and classes that
are used throughout the rest of the library.
Header <utility> synopsis
namespace std {
// _lib.operators_, operators:
namespace rel_ops {
template<class T> bool operator!=(const T&, const T&);
template<class T> bool operator> (const T&, const T&);
template<class T> bool operator<=(const T&, const T&);
template<class T> bool operator>=(const T&, const T&);
}
// _lib.pairs_, pairs:
template <class T1, class T2> struct pair;
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator==(const pair<T1,T2>&, const pair<T1,T2>&);
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator< (const pair<T1,T2>&, const pair<T1,T2>&);
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator!=(const pair<T1,T2>&, const pair<T1,T2>&);
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator> (const pair<T1,T2>&, const pair<T1,T2>&);
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator>=(const pair<T1,T2>&, const pair<T1,T2>&);
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator<=(const pair<T1,T2>&, const pair<T1,T2>&);
template <class T1, class T2> pair<T1,T2> make_pair(const T1&, const T2&);
}
20.2.1 Operators [lib.operators]
1 To avoid redundant definitions of operator!= out of operator== and
operators >, <=, and >= out of operator<, the library provides the
following:
template <class T> bool operator!=(const T& x, const T& y);
Requires:
Type T is EqualityComparable (_lib.equalitycomparable_).
Returns:
!(x == y).
template <class T> bool operator>(const T& x, const T& y);
Requires:
Type T is LessThanComparable (_lib.lessthancomparable_).
Returns:
y < x.
template <class T> bool operator<=(const T& x, const T& y);
Requires:
Type T is LessThanComparable (_lib.lessthancomparable_).
Returns:
!(y < x).
template <class T> bool operator>=(const T& x, const T& y);
Requires:
Type T is LessThanComparable (_lib.lessthancomparable_).
Returns:
!(x < y).
2 In this library, whenever a declaration is provided for an operator!=,
operator>, operator>=, or operator<=, and requirements and semantics
are not explicitly provided, the requirements and semantics are as
specified in this clause.
20.2.2 Pairs [lib.pairs]
1 The library provides a template for heterogeneous pairs of values.
The library also provides a matching template function to simplify
their construction.
template <class T1, class T2>
struct pair {
typedef T1 first_type;
typedef T2 second_type;
T1 first;
T2 second;
pair();
pair(const T1& x, const T2& y);
template<class U, class V> pair(const pair<U, V> &p);
};
pair();
Effects:
Initializes its members as if implemented: pair() : first(T1()),
second(T2()) {}
pair(const T1& x, const T2& y);
Effects:
The constructor initializes first with x and second with y.
template<class U, class V> pair(const pair<U, V> &p);
Effects:
Initializes members from the corresponding members of the argument,
performing implicit conversions as needed.
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator==(const pair<T1, T2>& x, const pair<T1, T2>& y);
Returns:
x.first == y.first && x.second == y.second.
template <class T1, class T2>
bool operator<(const pair<T1, T2>& x, const pair<T1, T2>& y);
Returns:
x.first < y.first || (!(y.first < x.first) && x.second < y.second).
template <class T1, class T2>
pair<T1, T2> make_pair(const T1& x, const T2& y);
Returns:
pair<T1, T2>(x, y).
2 [Example: In place of:
return pair<int, double>(5, 3.1415926); // explicit types
a C++ program may contain:
return make_pair(5, 3.1415926); // types are deduced
--end example]
20.3 Function objects [lib.function.objects]
1 Function objects are objects with an operator() defined. They are
important for the effective use of the library. In the places where
one would expect to pass a pointer to a function to an algorithmic
template (clause _lib.algorithms_), the interface is specified to
accept an object with an operator() defined. This not only makes
algorithmic templates work with pointers to functions, but also
enables them to work with arbitrary function objects.

// _lib.base_, base:
template <class Arg, class Result> struct unary_function;

template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
class pointer_to_binary_function;
template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
pointer_to_binary_function<Arg1,Arg2,Result>

template<class S, class T, class A>

template<class S, class T> class mem_fun_ref_t;
template<class S, class T, class A> class mem_fun1_ref_t;

template<class S, class T, class A>
mem_fun1_ref_t<S,T,A> mem_fun_ref(S (T::*f)(A));
template <class S, class T> class const_mem_fun_t;
template <class S, class T, class A> class const_mem_fun1_t;
template <class S, class T>
const_mem_fun_t<S,T> mem_fun(S (T::*f)() const);
template <class S, class T, class A>

template <class S, class T> class const_mem_fun_ref_t;
template <class S, class T, class A> class const_mem_fun1_ref_t;
template <class S, class T>
const_mem_fun_ref_t<S,T> mem_fun_ref(S (T::*f)() const);
template <class S, class T, class A>
const_mem_fun1_ref_t<S,T,A> mem_fun_ref(S (T::*f)(A) const);
}
2 Using function objects together with function templates increases the
expressive power of the library as well as making the resulting code
much more efficient.
3 [Example: If a C++ program wants to have a by-element addition of two
vectors a and b containing double and put the result into a, it can
do:
transform(a.begin(), a.end(), b.begin(), a.begin(), plus<double>());
--end example]
4 [Example: To negate every element of a:
transform(a.begin(), a.end(), a.begin(), negate<double>());
The corresponding functions will inline the addition and the negation.
--end example]
5 To enable adaptors and other components to manipulate function objects
that take one or two arguments it is required that the function
objects correspondingly provide typedefs argument_type and result_type
for function objects that take one argument and first_argument_type,
second_argument_type, and result_type for function objects that take
two arguments.
20.3.1 Base [lib.base]
1 The following classes are provided to simplify the typedefs of the
argument and result types:
template <class Arg, class Result>
struct unary_function {
typedef Arg argument_type;
typedef Result result_type;
};
template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
struct binary_function {
typedef Arg1 first_argument_type;
typedef Arg2 second_argument_type;
typedef Result result_type;
};
20.3.2 Arithmetic operations [lib.arithmetic.operations]
1 The library provides basic function object classes for all of the
arithmetic operators in the language (_expr.mul_, _expr.add_).
template <class T> struct plus : binary_function<T,T,T> {
T operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
2 operator() returns x + y.
template <class T> struct minus : binary_function<T,T,T> {
T operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
3 operator() returns x - y.
template <class T> struct multiplies : binary_function<T,T,T> {
T operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
4 operator() returns x * y.
template <class T> struct divides : binary_function<T,T,T> {
T operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
5 operator() returns x / y.
template <class T> struct modulus : binary_function<T,T,T> {
T operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
6 operator() returns x % y.
template <class T> struct negate : unary_function<T,T> {
T operator()(const T& x) const;
};
7 operator() returns -x.
20.3.3 Comparisons [lib.comparisons]
1 The library provides basic function object classes for all of the com-
parison operators in the language (_expr.rel_, _expr.eq_).
template <class T> struct equal_to : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
2 operator() returns x == y.
template <class T> struct not_equal_to : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
3 operator() returns x != y.
template <class T> struct greater : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
4 operator() returns x > y.
template <class T> struct less : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
5 operator() returns x < y.
template <class T> struct greater_equal : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
6 operator() returns x >= y.
template <class T> struct less_equal : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
7 operator() returns x <= y.
8 For templates greater, less, greater_equal, and less_equal, the spe-
cializations for any pointer type yield a total order, even if the
built-in operators <, >, <=, >= do not.
20.3.4 Logical operations [lib.logical.operations]
1 The library provides basic function object classes for all of the log-
ical operators in the language (_expr.log.and_, _expr.log.or_,
_expr.unary.op_).
template <class T> struct logical_and : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
2 operator() returns x && y.
template <class T> struct logical_or : binary_function<T,T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x, const T& y) const;
};
3 operator() returns x || y.
template <class T> struct logical_not : unary_function<T,bool> {
bool operator()(const T& x) const;
};
4 operator() returns !x.
20.3.5 Negators [lib.negators]
1 Negators not1 and not2 take a unary and a binary predicate, respec-
tively, and return their complements (_expr.unary.op_).
template <class Predicate>
class unary_negate
: public unary_function<typename Predicate::argument_type,bool> {
public:
explicit unary_negate(const Predicate& pred);
bool operator()(const typename Predicate::argument_type& x) const;
};
2 operator() returns !pred(x).
template <class Predicate>
unary_negate<Predicate> not1(const Predicate& pred);
Returns:
unary_negate<Predicate>(pred).
template <class Predicate>
class binary_negate
: public binary_function<typename Predicate::first_argument_type,
typename Predicate::second_argument_type, bool> {
public:
explicit binary_negate(const Predicate& pred);
bool operator()(const typename Predicate::first_argument_type& x,
const typename Predicate::second_argument_type& y) const;
};
3 operator() returns !pred(x,y).
template <class Predicate>
binary_negate<Predicate> not2(const Predicate& pred);
Returns:
binary_negate<Predicate>(pred).
20.3.6 Binders [lib.binders]
1 Binders bind1st and bind2nd take a function object f of two arguments
and a value x and return a function object of one argument constructed
out of f with the first or second argument correspondingly bound to x.
20.3.6.1 Template class binder1st [lib.binder.1st]
template <class Operation>
class binder1st
: public unary_function<typename Operation::second_argument_type,
typename Operation::result_type> {
protected:
Operation op;
typename Operation::first_argument_type value;
public:
binder1st(const Operation& x,
const typename Operation::first_argument_type& y);
typename Operation::result_type
operator()(const typename Operation::second_argument_type& x) const;
};
1 The constructor initializes op with x and value with y.
2 operator() returns op(value,x).
20.3.6.2 bind1st [lib.bind.1st]
template <class Operation, class T>
binder1st<Operation> bind1st(const Operation& op, const T& x);
Returns:
binder1st<Operation>(op, typename Operation::first_argu-
ment_type(x)).
20.3.6.3 Template class binder2nd [lib.binder.2nd]
template <class Operation>
class binder2nd
: public unary_function<typename Operation::first_argument_type,
typename Operation::result_type> {
protected:
Operation op;
typename Operation::second_argument_type value;
public:
binder2nd(const Operation& x,
const typename Operation::second_argument_type& y);
typename Operation::result_type
operator()(const typename Operation::first_argument_type& x) const;
};
1 The constructor initializes op with x and value with y.
2 operator() returns op(x,value).
20.3.6.4 bind2nd [lib.bind.2nd]
template <class Operation, class T>
binder2nd<Operation> bind2nd(const Operation& op, const T& x);
Returns:
binder2nd<Operation>(op, typename Operation::second_argu-
ment_type(x)).
1 [Example:
find_if(v.begin(), v.end(), bind2nd(greater<int>(), 5));
finds the first integer in vector v greater than 5;
find_if(v.begin(), v.end(), bind1st(greater<int>(), 5));
finds the first integer in v less than 5. --end example]
20.3.7 Adaptors for pointers to [lib.function.pointer.adaptors]
functions
1 To allow pointers to (unary and binary) functions to work with func-
tion adaptors the library provides:
template <class Arg, class Result>
class pointer_to_unary_function : public unary_function<Arg, Result> {
public:
explicit pointer_to_unary_function(Result (*f)(Arg));
Result operator()(Arg x) const;
};
2 operator() returns f(x).
template <class Arg, class Result>
pointer_to_unary_function<Arg, Result> ptr_fun(Result (*f)(Arg));
Returns:
pointer_to_unary_function<Arg, Result>(f).
template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
class pointer_to_binary_function :
public binary_function<Arg1,Arg2,Result> {
public:
explicit pointer_to_binary_function(Result (*f)(Arg1, Arg2));
Result operator()(Arg1 x, Arg2 y) const;
};
3 operator() returns f(x,y).
template <class Arg1, class Arg2, class Result>
pointer_to_binary_function<Arg1,Arg2,Result>
ptr_fun(Result (*f)(Arg1, Arg2));
Returns:
pointer_to_binary_function<Arg1,Arg2,Result>(f).
4 [Example:
replace_if(v.begin(), v.end(), not1(bind2nd(ptr_fun(strcmp), "C")), "C++");
replaces each C with C++ in sequence v.2) --end example]
_________________________
2) Implementations that have multiple pointer to function types pro-
vide additional ptr_fun template functions.
20.3.8 Adaptors for pointers to [lib.member.pointer.adaptors]
members
1 The purpose of the following is to provide the same facilities for
pointer to members as those provided for pointers to functions in
_lib.function.pointer.adaptors_.
template <class S, class T> class mem_fun_t
: public unary_function<T*, S> {
public:
explicit mem_fun_t(S (T::*p)());
S operator()(T* p) const;
};
2 mem_fun_t calls the member function it is initialized with given a
pointer argument.
template <class S, class T, class A> class mem_fun1_t
: public binary_function<T*, A, S> {
public:
explicit mem_fun1_t(S (T::*p)(A));
S operator()(T* p, A x) const;
};
3 mem_fun1_t calls the member function it is initialized with given a
pointer argument and an additional argument of the appropriate type.
template<class S, class T> mem_fun_t<S,T>
mem_fun(S (T::*f)());
template<class S, class T, class A> mem_fun1_t<S,T,A>

20.4.1.1 allocator members [lib.allocator.members]
pointer address(reference x) const;
Returns:
&x.
const_pointer address(const_reference x) const;
Returns:
&x.
pointer allocate(size_type n, allocator<void>::const_pointer hint=0);
Notes:
Uses ::operator new(size_t) (_lib.new.delete_).
Requires:
hint either 0 or previously obtained from member allocate and not
yet passed to member deallocate. The value hint may be used by an
implementation to help improve performance3).
_________________________
3) In a container member function, the address of an adjacent element
is often a good choice to pass for this argument.
Returns:
a pointer to the initial element of an array of storage of size n *
sizeof(T), aligned appropriately for objects of type T.
Note:
the storage is obtained by calling ::operator new(size_t), but it is
unspecified when or how often this function is called. The use of
hint is unspecified, but intended as an aid to locality if an imple-
mentation so desires.
Throws:
bad_alloc if the storage cannot be obtained.
void deallocate(pointer p, size_type n);
Requires:
p shall be a pointer value obtained from allocate(). n shall equal
the value passed as the first argument to the invocation of allocate
which returned p.
Effects:
Deallocates the storage referenced by p.
Notes:
Uses ::operator delete(void*) (_lib.new.delete_), but it is unspeci-
fied when this function is called.
size_type max_size() const throw();
Returns:
the largest value N for which the call allocate(N,0) might succeed.
void construct(pointer p, const_reference val);
Returns:
new((void *)p) T(val)
void destroy(pointer p);
Returns:
((T*)p)->~T()

bool operator!=(const allocator<T1>&, const allocator<T2>&) throw();
Returns:
false.
20.4.2 Raw storage iterator [lib.storage.iterator]
1 raw_storage_iterator is provided to enable algorithms to store their
results into uninitialized memory. The formal template parameter Out-
putIterator is required to have its operator* return an object for
which operator& is defined and returns a pointer to T, and is also
required to satisfy the requirements of an output iterator (_lib.out-
put.iterators_).
namespace std {
template <class OutputIterator, class T>
class raw_storage_iterator
: public iterator<output_iterator_tag,void,void,void,void> {
public:
explicit raw_storage_iterator(OutputIterator x);
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T>& operator*();
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T>& operator=(const T& element);
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T>& operator++();
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T> operator++(int);
};
}
raw_storage_iterator(OutputIterator x);
Effects:
Initializes the iterator to point to the same value to which x
points.
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T>& operator*();
Returns:
*this
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T>& operator=(const T& element);
Effects:
Constructs a value from element at the location to which the itera-
tor points.
Returns:
A reference to the iterator.
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T>& operator++();
Effects:
Pre-increment: advances the iterator and returns a reference to the
updated iterator.
raw_storage_iterator<OutputIterator,T> operator++(int);
Effects:
Post-increment: advances the iterator and returns the old value of
the iterator.
20.4.3 Temporary buffers [lib.temporary.buffer]
template <class T>
pair<T*, ptrdiff_t> get_temporary_buffer(ptrdiff_t n);
Effects:
Obtains a pointer to storage sufficient to store up to n adjacent T
objects.
Returns:
A pair containing the buffer's address and capacity (in the units of
sizeof(T)), or a pair of 0 values if no storage can be obtained.
template <class T> void return_temporary_buffer(T* p);
Effects:
Deallocates the buffer to which p points.
Requires:
The buffer shall have been previously allocated by get_tempo-
rary_buffer.
20.4.4 Specialized algorithms [lib.specialized.algorithms]
1 All the iterators that are used as formal template parameters in the
following algorithms are required to have their operator* return an
object for which operator& is defined and returns a pointer to T. In
the algorithm uninitialized_copy, the formal template parameter
InputIterator is required to satisfy the requirements of an input
iterator (_lib.input.iterators_). In all of the following algorithms,
the formal template parameter ForwardIterator is required to satisfy
the requirements of a forward iterator (_lib.forward.iterators_) and
also to satisfy the requirements of a mutable iterator (_lib.itera-
tor.requirements_), and is required to have the property that no
exceptions are thrown from increment, assignment, comparison, or
dereference of valid iterators. In the following algorithms, if an
exception is thrown there are no effects.
20.4.4.1 uninitialized_copy [lib.uninitialized.copy]
template <class InputIterator, class ForwardIterator>
ForwardIterator
uninitialized_copy(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
ForwardIterator result);
Effects:
for (; first != last; ++result, ++first)
new (static_cast<void*>(&*result))
typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type(*first);
Returns:
result
20.4.4.2 uninitialized_fill [lib.uninitialized.fill]
template <class ForwardIterator, class T>
void uninitialized_fill(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last,
const T& x);
Effects:
for (; first != last; ++first)
new (static_cast<void*>(&*first))
typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type(x);
20.4.4.3 uninitialized_fill_n [lib.uninitialized.fill.n]
template <class ForwardIterator, class Size, class T>
void uninitialized_fill_n(ForwardIterator first, Size n, const T& x);
Effects:
for (; n--; ++first)
new (static_cast<void*>(&*first))
typename iterator_traits<ForwardIterator>::value_type(x);
20.4.5 Template class auto_ptr [lib.auto.ptr]
1 Template auto_ptr stores a pointer to an object obtained via new and
deletes that object when it itself is destroyed (such as when leaving
block scope _stmt.dcl_).
2 Template auto_ptr_ref holds a reference to an auto_ptr. It is used by
the auto_ptr conversions to allow auto_ptr objects to be passed to and
returned from functions.
namespace std {
template<class X> class auto_ptr {
template <class Y> struct auto_ptr_ref {};
public:
typedef X element_type;
// _lib.auto.ptr.cons_ construct/copy/destroy:
explicit auto_ptr(X* p =0) throw();
auto_ptr(auto_ptr&) throw();
template<class Y> auto_ptr(auto_ptr<Y>&) throw();
auto_ptr& operator=(auto_ptr&) throw();
template<class Y> auto_ptr& operator=(auto_ptr<Y>&) throw();
~auto_ptr() throw();
// _lib.auto.ptr.members_ members:
X& operator*() const throw();
X* operator->() const throw();
X* get() const throw();
X* release() throw();
void reset(X* p =0) throw();
// _lib.auto.ptr.conv_ converions:
auto_ptr(auto_ptr_ref<X>) throw();
template<class Y> operator auto_ptr_ref<Y>() throw();
template<class Y> operator auto_ptr<Y>() throw();
};
}
3 The auto_ptr provides a semantics of strict ownership. An auto_ptr
owns the object it holds a pointer to. Copying an auto_ptr copies the
pointer and transfers ownership to the destination. If more than one
auto_ptr owns the same object at the same time the behavior of the
program is undefined. [Note: The uses of auto_ptr include providing
temporary exception-safety for dynamically allocated memory, passing
ownership of dynamically allocated memory to a function, and returning
dynamically allocated memory from a function. auto_ptr does not meet
the CopyConstructible and Assignable requirements for Standard Library
container elements and thus instantiating a Standard Library container
with an auto_ptr results in undefined behavior. --end note]
