uninitialized_fill(exec, first, last, x)#

template<typename DerivedPolicy, typename ForwardIterator, typename T>
void thrust::uninitialized_fill(
const thrust::detail::execution_policy_base<DerivedPolicy> &exec,
ForwardIterator first,
ForwardIterator last,
const T &x,
)#

In thrust, the function thrust::device_new allocates memory for an object and then creates an object at that location by calling a constructor. Occasionally, however, it is useful to separate those two operations. If each iterator in the range [first, last) points to uninitialized memory, then uninitialized_fill creates copies of x in that range. That is, for each iterator i in the range [first, last), uninitialized_fill creates a copy of x in the location pointed to i by calling ForwardIterator's value_type's copy constructor.

The algorithm’s execution is parallelized as determined by exec.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use uninitialized_fill to initialize a range of uninitialized memory using the thrust::device execution policy for parallelization:

#include <thrust/uninitialized_fill.h>
#include <thrust/device_malloc.h>
#include <thrust/execution_policy.h>

struct Int
{
  __host__ __device__
  Int(int x) : val(x) {}
  int val;
};
...
const int N = 137;

Int val(46);
thrust::device_ptr<Int> array = thrust::device_malloc<Int>(N);
thrust::uninitialized_fill(thrust::device, array, array + N, val);

// Int x = array[i];
// x.val == 46 for all 0 <= i < N

Parameters:

  • exec – The execution policy to use for parallelization.

  • first – The first element of the range of interest.

  • last – The last element of the range of interest.

  • x – The value to use as the exemplar of the copy constructor.

Template Parameters:

  • DerivedPolicy – The name of the derived execution policy.

  • ForwardIterator – is a model of Forward Iterator, ForwardIterator is mutable, and ForwardIterator's value_type has a constructor that takes a single argument of type T.
