std::destroy
From cppreference.com
| Defined in header <memory>

||
| template< class ForwardIt > void destroy( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last ); |
(1) | (since C++17) |
| template< class ExecutionPolicy, class ForwardIt > void destroy( ExecutionPolicy&& policy, ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last ); |
(2) | (since C++17) |
1) Destroys the objects in the range
[first, last), as if by
for (; first != last; ++first) std::destroy_at(std::addressof(*first));
2) Same as (1), but executed according to
policy. This overload does not participate in overload resolution unless std::is_execution_policy_v<std::decay_t<ExecutionPolicy>> is true.Parameters
| first, last | - | the range of elements to destroy |
| policy | - | the execution policy to use. See execution policy for details. |
| Type requirements | ||
-ForwardIt must meet the requirements of ForwardIterator.
| ||
-No increment, assignment, comparison, or indirection through valid instances of ForwardIt may throw exceptions.
| ||
Return value
(none)
Complexity
Linear in the distance between first and last.
Exceptions
The overload with a template parameter named ExecutionPolicy reports errors as follows:
- If execution of a function invoked as part of the algorithm throws an exception and
ExecutionPolicyis one of the three standard policies, std::terminate is called. For any otherExecutionPolicy, the behavior is implementation-defined. - If the algorithm fails to allocate memory, std::bad_alloc is thrown.
Possible implementation
template< class ForwardIt > void destroy( ForwardIt first, ForwardIt last ) { for (; first != last; ++first) std::destroy_at(std::addressof(*first)); } |
Example
The following example demonstrates how to use destroy to destroy a contiguous sequence of elements.
Run this code
#include <memory> #include <new> #include <iostream> struct Tracer { int value; ~Tracer() { std::cout << value << " destructed\n"; } }; int main() { alignas(Tracer) unsigned char buffer[sizeof(Tracer) * 8]; for (int i = 0; i < 8; ++i) new(buffer + sizeof(Tracer) * i) Tracer{i}; //manually construct objects auto ptr = std::launder(reinterpret_cast<Tracer*>(buffer)); std::destroy(ptr, ptr + 8); }
Output:
0 destructed 1 destructed 2 destructed 3 destructed 4 destructed 5 destructed 6 destructed 7 destructed
