std::raw_storage_iterator

Defined in header `<memory>`
template< class OutputIt, class T > class raw_storage_iterator : public std::iterator<std::output_iterator_tag, void, void, void, void>;

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.

(constructor)	creates a new `raw_storage_iterator` (public member function)
operator=	copy-constructs an object at the pointed-to location in the buffer (public member function)
operator*	dereferences the iterator (public member function)
operator++operator++(int)	advances the iterator (public member function)

[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
