Function template cpp::construct<T, Args...>

template <typename T, typename ... Args>
void construct(void* where, Args&&... args);

This function performs an in-place construction of an object of type T in the given address. Arguments are passed as-is to the object constructor. The behavior is undefined if alignment(pointer) != alignof(T).

std::aligned_storage<std::string> storage;
cpp::construct<std::string>(&storage, "hello, world!");

Parameter cpp::construct::where

void* where

Location of the object \param args Constructor arguments
