27 Algorithms library [algorithms]

27.11 Specialized <memory> algorithms [specialized.algorithms]

27.11.1 General [specialized.algorithms.general]

The contents specified in [specialized.algorithms] are declared in the header <memory>.

Unless otherwise specified, if an exception is thrown in the following algorithms, objects constructed by a placement new-expression ([expr.new]) are destroyed in an unspecified order before allowing the exception to propagate.

Some algorithms specified in [specialized.algorithms] make use of the exposition-only function template voidify: template<class T> constexpr void* voidify(T& obj) noexcept { return addressof(obj); }

27.11.2 Special memory concepts [special.mem.concepts]

Some algorithms in this subclause are constrained with the following exposition-only concepts:

🔗

template<class I>
concept nothrow-input-iterator = // exposition only
  input_iterator<I> &&
  is_lvalue_reference_v<iter_reference_t<I>> &&
  same_as<remove_cvref_t<iter_reference_t<I>>, iter_value_t<I>>;

A type I models nothrow-input-iterator only if no exceptions are thrown from increment, copy construction, move construction, copy assignment, move assignment, or indirection through valid iterators.

[Note 1:

This concept allows some input_iterator ([iterator.concept.input]) operations to throw exceptions.

— end note]

🔗

template<class S, class I>
concept nothrow-sentinel-for = sentinel_for<S, I>; // exposition only

Types S and I model nothrow-sentinel-for only if no exceptions are thrown from copy construction, move construction, copy assignment, move assignment, or comparisons between valid values of type I and S.

[Note 2:

This concept allows some sentinel_for ([iterator.concept.sentinel]) operations to throw exceptions.

— end note]

🔗

template<class R>
concept nothrow-input-range = // exposition only
  range<R> &&
  nothrow-input-iterator<iterator_t<R>> &&
  nothrow-sentinel-for<sentinel_t<R>, iterator_t<R>>;

A type R models nothrow-input-range only if no exceptions are thrown from calls to ranges::begin and ranges::end on an object of type R.

🔗

template<class I>
concept nothrow-forward-iterator = // exposition only
  nothrow-input-iterator<I> &&
  forward_iterator<I> &&
  nothrow-sentinel-for<I, I>;

[Note 3:

This concept allows some forward_iterator ([iterator.concept.forward]) operations to throw exceptions.

— end note]

🔗

template<class R>
concept nothrow-forward-range = // exposition only
  nothrow-input-range<R> &&
  nothrow-forward-iterator<iterator_t<R>>;
