The output iterator std::raw_storage_iterator makes it possible for standard algorithms to store results in uninitialized memory. Whenever the algorithm writes an object of type T to the dereferenced iterator, the object is copy-constructed into the location in the uninitialized storage pointed to by the iterator. The template parameter OutputIt is any type that meets the requirements of OutputIterator and has operator* defined to return an object, for which operator& returns an object of type T*. Usually, the type T* is used as OutputIt.

[edit] Member functions
| creates a new raw_storage_iterator(public member function) | |
| constructs an object at the pointed-to location in the buffer (public member function) | |
| dereferences the iterator (public member function) | |
| advances the iterator (public member function) | |
| (since C++17) | provides access to the wrapped iterator (public member function) | 
[edit] Member types
| Member type | Definition | 
| value_type | void | 
| difference_type | void | 
| pointer | void | 
| reference | void | 
| iterator_category | std::output_iterator_tag | 
Note: before C++17, these member types are required to be obtained by inheriting from std::iterator<std::output_iterator_tag,void,void,void,void>.
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <memory> #include <algorithm> int main() { const std::string s[] = {"This", "is", "a", "test", "."}; std::string* p = std::get_temporary_buffer<std::string>(5).first; std::copy(std::begin(s), std::end(s), std::raw_storage_iterator<std::string*, std::string>(p)); for(std::string* i = p; i!=p+5; ++i) { std::cout << *i << '\n'; i->~basic_string<char>(); } std::return_temporary_buffer(p); }
Output:
This is a test .
