# C++ named requirements: CopyInsertable (since C++11)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | named req

Specifies that an instance of the type can be copy-constructed in-place by a given allocator.

### Requirements

The type `T` is CopyInsertable into the container `X` whose `value_type` is identical to `T` if `T` is MoveInsertable into `X`, and, given

`A` | an allocator type
`m` | an lvalue of type `A`
`p` | the pointer of type `T*` prepared by the container
`v` | expression of type (possibly const) `T`

where `X::allocator_type` is identical to std::allocator_traits<A>::rebind_alloc<T>,

the following expression is well-formed:

    std::allocator_traits<A>::construct(m, p, v);

And after evaluation, the value of *p is equivalent to the value of v. The value of v is unchanged.

If `X` is not allocator-aware or is a std::basic_string specialization, the term is defined as if `A` were std::allocator<T>, except that no allocator object needs to be created, and user-defined specializations of std::allocator are not instantiated.

### Notes

If `A` is std::allocator<T>, then this will call placement-new, as by ::new((void*)p) T(v) (until C++20)std::construct_at(p, v) (since C++20).

Although it is required that customized `construct` is used when constructing elements of std::basic_string until C++23, all implementations only used the default mechanism. The requirement is corrected by P1072R10 to match existing practice.
